This is a technology that allows you to securely control another computer over the Internet. You can use it as if you were sitting in front of that computer and operating it directly.

This is the electronic key file used to connect to the server. This file is used instead of a password to verify your identity. You should never share your security key with anyone else.

A computer that provides services to other computers. StreamGPU-created servers are high-performance computers capable of processing GPU tasks.

The port number through which a specific service communicates on a computer. When connecting with SSH, you must specify a port number to connect to the correct service.

A program for entering commands using text. It's called PowerShell on Windows and Terminal on Mac and Linux.

This refers to the connection to a server. If the network is disconnected, your session will end, and any running tasks may be interrupted. You can maintain your session by using tmux or screen.

This setting determines who can read, write, and execute a file. Security Key File permissions should be restricted so that only the owner can read them.

This is information like a fingerprint that verifies the authenticity of the server. When you first connect to the server, you will be prompted to confirm the host key. If the server is trustworthy, enter "yes."

This is a method of securely exchanging files using SSH. It is used to transfer files between your local computer and a server.

A command-line tool that generates SSH key pairs (public + private). StreamGPU provides server-side keys in some cases, but you may generate your own.

A protocol that transfers files securely over an SSH connection. Unlike FTP, SFTP encrypts data and supports interactive directory navigation and file operations.

A Windows command to manage file and folder access control lists (ACLs). It is roughly equivalent to Linux chmod for controlling who can read the SSH key files.

A key generation and conversion tool used by the PuTTY SSH client on Windows. Use PuTTYgen to convert a .pem key into PuTTY's .ppk format when required by PuTTY or Pageant.

Programs that hold your private keys in memory so you don't need to type the key file path each time. ssh-agent is common on Mac/Linux and Pageant is used with PuTTY on Windows.

A file that stores host keys (fingerprints) of servers you previously connected to. On subsequent connections, the client verifies the server's host key against this file to detect tampering. Typically located at ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

This program allows tasks to continue running even when the network is down. It's useful for long-running tasks.

This function connects a specific port on a server to a local computer. It allows you to view web applications running on the server using your computer's browser.

This is a security system that blocks unauthorized access. You can configure it to allow access only from specific IP addresses or ports.

This is the address used to find your computer on the Internet.

This is the account name used to connect to the server. You must use the username displayed on the dashboard.
