To establish a secure SSH connection, you'll first need to generate a public and private key pair.

1. Open your terminal.

2. Type the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -o -a 128

3. Follow the prompts to enter a new password.

1. Ensure OpenSSH is installed. If not, install it.

2. Open CMD or PowerShell.

3. Type the same command as above:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -o -a 128

4. Follow the prompts to enter a new password.

For detailed instructions, refer to this guide.

1. Log in to your Copernicus account: Copernicus User Login.

2. Upload the public key file, which can be identified by its .pub suffix.

Use the following command to connect to the server:

ssh -i [your_private_key] -p 8822 [[email protected]]

You will be prompted to enter the password you set in Step 1.

After the initial setup, you can connect to the server more simply with these commands:

ssh -i [your_private_key] -p 8822 [[email protected]]
[your_password]

Ensure that the [your_private_key] file remains in your working directory to maintain the connection.

• This configuration needs to be done only once.

• Ensure your private key file is securely stored and not shared.
