# Connect to an AI server
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/compute/ai-servers/connect-to-an-ai-server



Open the server (**Compute › AI Servers** › the server). The **Connect** card on its **Overview** tab
shows how to log in, with copy buttons.

## Linux: SSH [#linux-ssh]

Log in as **root** with the SSH command shown, for example:

```bash
ssh root@203.0.113.30
```

Use your SSH key, or the root password we emailed when the server was created. Check the GPUs with:

```bash
nvidia-smi
```

Move files with any SFTP or SCP client (the same address, user and key or password), or with `rsync`
over SSH.

## Windows: Remote Desktop [#windows-remote-desktop]

On a Windows server the card shows a **Remote Desktop** address instead of SSH. Open it in any Remote
Desktop app and sign in as **Administrator** with the password we emailed you.

## Browser console [#browser-console]

When SSH or Remote Desktop isn't reachable, select **Open console** in the server's header to see its
screen in your browser.

## Lost the password? [#lost-the-password]

Select **Reset it** on the **Connect*&#x2A; card, or &#x2A;*⋯ › Reset root password…** in the header. The new
password (Administrator on Windows) is shown once: copy it straight away.
