Access to Servers
Updated on 14 Apr 2025

When a GPU VM (with Ubuntu OS) is successfully created on the FPT Portal, users can access it by default using the built-in Web Console.

Additionally, users can log in externally via SSH clients or third-party software such as PuTTY or Bitvise.

Connect to a GPU VM via Web Console

The Web Console allows users to control all GPU VMs on FPT Cloud, even those without a Public IP.

In the menu, go to Instance Management, find the desired virtual machine, and under the Actions section, select Console.

The browser will immediately open a new window displaying the server screen, allowing users full control and interaction with the connected server.

Connect to a GPU VM Using an SSH Client

Users can use built-in SSH clients on Windows, such as cmd.exe or PowerShell, to connect to a virtual machine via SSH.

Step 1: Open CMD or PowerShell on Windows.

Step 2: If connecting using a password, use the following command:

  • ssh (Username)@(VM_IP)

If connecting using an SSH key pair, first navigate to the directory containing the SSH key file using the cd command:

  • cd<<Đường dẫn đến thư mục chứa file pem>>

Alt text

Then, connect to the virtual machine using the following command:

  • ssh -i "(SSH_key_file)" (Username)@(VM_IP)

Step 3: If this is your first time connecting to the virtual machine, you will be prompted to verify the host's fingerprint. To proceed, type "yes" and press Enter.

  • ssh-keygen -R "(VM_IP)"
