# SSH Connection

## SSH connection

To continue the Ethernity NODE installation, is easier if you connect to the new installed Ubuntu environment using SSH from another computer.

### Connect using Windows

On a Windows computer, you can download PuTTY from here:

<https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html>

![Use the IP address highlighted at the "IP Address" step from above and click on Open.](/files/-MObyGK9U3fCEL15u4Yy)

To login, use the username and the password you configured while installing Ubuntu.

### Connect using Linux or macOS

Inside a console on Linux, or Terminal App on macOS, type:

```bash
ssh username@ip.address
```

Where username is the username you filled in at Ubuntu setup and ip.address is the IP address found at the last step of the installation.

To authenticate, use the password you configured while installing Ubuntu

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ethernity.cloud/ethernity-node/prerequisites-ethernity-node/installing-linux/ssh-connection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
