Managing a server is typically done through desktop or laptop computers, but managing a VPS (Virtual Private Server) is now also possible with mobile devices. There are several applications available for VPS management. By downloading the appropriate application for your device, you can start managing your server. This way, you can access your server from anywhere in the world, intervene immediately in emergencies, and quickly resolve issues. The following example describes the connection steps using Termius. You can follow the steps below for access.
- Download and open the Termius application.
- Click on the plus “+” icon in the corner.
- Tap on the “New Host” option.
- Enter a name for your connection in the “Alias” section. For example, you can give it a descriptive name like “My VPS Server”.
- Enter your server’s IP address in the “Host/IP Address” section.
- Port: The default port used for SSH is 22. However, if your server has defined a different port, enter the relevant port number.
- In the “Username” field, enter the username used to connect to your server via SSH.
- In the ‘Password’ field, enter your password for the SSH connection.
- After entering all the information correctly, tap on the “Save” button or the checkmark symbol located in the top right corner of the screen.
- You will see the SSH connection you saved on the main screen. When you tap on the connection, Termius will connect to your server via SSH and provide you access to the server terminal.
When managing your VPS from mobile devices, security should be a top priority. For your safety, consider using a VPN and regularly changing your passwords by using complex and strong combinations.
