====== Accessing your server via SSH ======



Once your new server is created, you can connect with **<login>@<your_IP_address>** 

For example, if your server's IP address is ''123.123.123.123'', and the user is ''admin'' (this is the default user created under Gandi AI) run this command in a console window:

  ssh admin@123.123.123.123

You will then be asked for a password. This password was chosen during the creation of your server on the Gandi website.

===== VPS in AI mode =====

<note>
Root access is only available on a VPS in Expert mode; a Gandi AI VPS does not allow you to log in as root.
