SSH access

SSH is implemented through Amezmo's secure entry point host. We securely route your connection from our load balancer directly to your instance using a pre-allocated port. Learn more about enabling ssh access and finding your port.

SSH command

ssh -i <path to your private key> -p $PORT deployer@$DOMAIN.lb2.amezmo.co
  • -i This argument contains the path to your private key file. When you enable SSH, you must add a public key. Every public key has a private key as well. These are referred to as a public/private key pair.
  • -p This is the port of your SSH server. Amezmo allocates a unique port for your inbound SSH sessions. This can be found on your instance's Overview page.

SFTP command

sftp -i <path to your private key> $PORT deployer@$DOMAIN.lb3.amezmo.co

The $DOMAIN variable above can be found from your dashboard. It is the part before your internal domain. To find your SSH port, please see the SSH port page
