How to connect to your server over SSH?

In order to connect to your server from a PC in the same network, you should use SSH. You are then able to control your server, use copy and paste and more.

1. Find out the IPv4-address of your server (if not already done): Either login to your server to show it or it will be presented on the login screen after installing Nextcloud
2. Open a command prompt on Windows 10 or terminal on Linux
3. Type in ssh username@ip-address
   One example is: ssh ncadmin@192.168.178.144
   (If it times out although your server is running, the IPv4-address might be wrong. Then please look at step 1 how to find out the IPv4-address)
4. If you connect the first time to your server, you will be asked to confirm the server fingerprint which you should do by typing in yes and pressing [ENTER].
5. Now type in your Ubuntu user password

tip

If you get a fingerprint warning (because the SSH-fingerprint of your server changed), you can reset the fingerprint by typing in your Console/Terminal on your client PC:
ssh-keygen -R ip-address
so e.g.
ssh-keygen -R 192.168.178.144
