SSH Access

Amezmo runs SSH through a secure entry-point host. It routes your connection from the load balancer straight to your instance on a pre-allocated port. See enabling SSH to turn it on and find your port.

SSH Command

SSH command

$ ssh -i <path to your private key> -p $PORT deployer@$DOMAIN.lb2.amezmo.co

-i is the path to your private key file. When you enable SSH you add a public key, and every public key has a matching private key. Together they are a public and private key pair.
-p is your SSH server's port. Amezmo allocates a unique port for your inbound SSH sessions, shown on your instance's Overview page.

SFTP Command

Transfer files to and from your instance over SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

SFTP command

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

Your dashboard shows the $DOMAIN variable. It is the part before your internal domain. To find your SSH port, see the SSH port page.
