SSH

The redu ssh command lets you connect to a server by its name using SSH.

No manual SSH configuration is required — authentication and key handling are managed automatically by the CLI.

Usage

redu ssh <server_name>

Description

This command connects you directly to a server using SSH.

You only need to provide the server name. The CLI takes care of resolving the connection details and opening an interactive SSH session.

Arguments

The server name must match the name shown in:

redu server list

Prerequisites

Authentication

You must be authenticated before using this command:

redu auth -u <username>

During authentication, the CLI automatically:

• generates an SSH keypair (if needed)
• uploads the public key to your account

You do not need to create or upload SSH keys manually.

Examples

Connect to a server named web-01:

redu ssh web-01

Output

On success, the CLI opens an interactive SSH session.

If the connection cannot be established, a clear error message is shown.

Notes

• SSH access uses the default system SSH client.
• The SSH user is currently fixed to ubuntu.
• Server name matching is exact.
