Accessing from SSH

Steps:

  1. Start the HSVPN

  2. Open your SSH client and type:

ssh [mst3k@10.xxx.xxx.xxx](mailto:mst3k@10.xxx.xxx.xxx)

, where mst3k is replaced with your user ID and the x’s are replaced with your VM’s IP address (given in the Services app).

Screenshot showing a terminal window in MobaXterm with the command ssh mst3k@10.xxx.xxx.xxx entered, demonstrating how a user connects to their Rio VM over SSH using their user ID and VM IP address. The command line interface displays a green and yellow bar with the date, time, and file path /home/mobaxterm.

When prompted for a password, use your EServices password.

This login method provides only command line access to the VM. No graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are usable.
