SSH into an Instance

Scalr provides a single-click method of logging into one of your servers as root, using Mindterm. On any page that lists an Instance, simply click the black terminal icon and Scalr will use your private key to log you in as root in a Java applet.

If you would like to connect to an instance using Putty, Terminal, or Cyberduck, click Server Farms->View all, Then click the "View" link next to the Roles count. Next to each Role there's an Options dropdown. Select Download SSH private key. This private key allows you to authenticate on all instances in this farm via an OpenSSH client (ssh -i path/to/privatekey root@instanceip) or Putty.
