Remote Access Guide

This document explains the basic steps required to connect to a StreamGPU container for the first time.

1. Download the Security Key

• After container creation completes, the dashboard shows a prompt to download the security key.
• Save the key immediately in a safe location because it cannot be retrieved again later.

2. Store the Key and Set Permissions

• Move the key file to a private directory that you control.
• Before connecting, make sure the key file permissions are not too open.
• On Windows, follow the on-screen guidance for private-key usage and permission setup.

3. Check the Connection Details

• The dashboard shows the address, port, and username required for access.
• The safest approach is to copy and use the connection command exactly as shown.

4. Connect for the First Time

• When you run the SSH command, you may see a host-key confirmation message.
• Review the prompt and proceed only when the connection details look correct.

5. If the Connection Fails

• Re-check the key-file path and permissions.
• Confirm that the connection details shown in the dashboard are current.
• If you are on a corporate or public network, verify whether the required port is blocked.

Additional Guidance

• If you also need file transfer, use the SFTP file transfer guide.
• If connection failures continue, contact support through the Contact Us menu.
