How do I SSH into my DigitalOcean droplet?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:44 pm

SSH into your DigitalOcean droplet is simple. After logging in to your account, click on the “Droplets” tab, and then click on the droplet you want to SSH into. On the droplet’s Overview page, click on the SSH link in the menu bar. You will be prompted to enter your account password. After logging in, you will be presented with the droplet’s IP address and login name.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with using the command line, DO NOT attempt to SSH into your droplet. You could accidentally delete important files or change critical settings without knowing what you are doing.

Type these values into your SSH client and hit Enter. You will be presented with a login prompt. Type your login name and password and hit Enter. You will now be logged in to your droplet.
