Step 5 - Open a terminal window (command prompt or powershell if you’re using Microsoft Windows), and type in the following command, and press Enter.
ssh <username>@<hostname> -p <port>
Where the parameters are:
Step 6 - When prompted, type ‘yes’ and press Enter to confirm the SSH key.
Step 7 - The SSH connection will then request for the password for the specified <username>. Type the password and press Enter. (please note that when you’re typing the password, it will not be visible. But it’s being entered underneath.)
