Scenarios

This section describes how to access a Linux ECS from a mobile terminal.

For instructions about how to log in to a Linux ECS from an iOS terminal through Termius, see Logging In to a Linux ECS from an iOS Terminal.
For instructions about how to log in to a Linux ECS from an Android terminal through JuiceSSH, see Logging In to a Linux ECS from an Android Terminal.

Prerequisites

The target ECS is running.
You have obtained the username and password for logging in to the ECS. If the password is forgotten, reset the password by referring to Resetting the Password for Logging In to an ECS on the Management Console.
You have bound an EIP to the ECS. For details, see Binding an EIP.

Access to port 22 is allowed in the inbound direction of the security group which the ECS belongs to. For details, see Configuring Security Group Rules.
