Webminal Root Feature: How to connect with SSH from Win10 cmd to my webminal?

Webminal Support
1

Hi there!
I would like to connect with SSH from my Windows 10 to webminal. I have done:
ssh root@ip_adress

but my win 10 wrote:
ssh: connect to host Ip_adress port 22: Connection timed out

Ip adress i took with that command:
ip addr show

But when i tried:
ssh my_login_from_webminal@webminal.com

i saw that i had to type the password. I thought, that password would have been from my webminal account, but i was wrong.

Help me please, because i am newbie in IT and i would like to solve this problem. Moreover, i think that i don’t understand where to see the correct login@server_adress from my webminal.

I am able to provide screenshots, if it needs.

Let me enable the access for your account and provide the ssh details (like port number) in few hours. thanks

root@95f0b2e3ada5:/# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth0@if4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default 
    link/ether 02:42:ac:11:00:02 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff link-netnsid 0
    inet 172.17.0.2/16 brd 172.17.255.255 scope global eth0

Am i right that user = root and IP=172.17.0.2 ?

I have just tried acces from my mac and again:

192:~ pavelzelenin$ ssh root@172.17.0.2
ssh: connect to host 172.17.0.2 port 22: Operation timed out

Our network environment little complex (you will be accessing it like ssh -p <port-num> root@webminal.com) We may need to reset the environment. Can you backup any critical data from your environment?

I have understood my mistake.
I tried to connect with local IP.

Then i found external IP:

root@95f0b2e3ada5:/# curl ifconfig.io
167.71.78.73

Created test user:

root@95f0b2e3ada5:/# useradd test
root@95f0b2e3ada5:/# cat etc/passwd

So i was able to connect, but it needed password. But as you can see i created user without any passwords. May be it will help you.

I havent got any important files, so you could reset the env. Thanks

If everything works well, if possible please share screenshot terminal connected via windows :slight_smile: I never used windows in recent times to login to webminal :stuck_out_tongue:
