Commandline Interface of the Vortexbox

Because you can only make basic changes in the webinterface it's often necessary to connect via SSH to the Vortexbox.
SSH is already installed and configured and you simply need to use a SSH client and connect to the box.

SSH clients:

  • The Most popular SSH client is putty. It's very useful when you have Windows. Just download the executable, launch it, type in the Server IP and connect.

  • On Linux there is usually a SSH client installed. If not you can use open-ssh. It works good and is very simple. Just go to a Terminal and enter 

ssh -l root 192.168.0.5

With the parameter "-l" you can set the username. The defaul user on the VB is root. Therefore pay attention what you do. The password has to be entered after you are connected.
