Connecting google cloud bitnami SSH


Google Cloud dashboard is very different and relatively difficult as compare to EC2, I have created a VM powered by LAMP, Now I want to put files on my server or SSH to it via File Zilla or Win SCP.

It didnt ask me to create the keys, I tried using bitnami username and password present at dashboard (with no key) but it is not authenticating. what should I do now ? I dont want to download whole gcloud sdk for just putting files. Any option ?


Solution

  • Add you ssh key to the machine by going logging into the Google Cloud Console then navigating to Compute Engine > VM Instances.

    Click on your VM name, then choose edit at the top.

    Edit button

    Once you are in edit mode, you can upload an SSH key and save it.

    key upload

    After you added a key, you can ssh / scp like normal. See: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance#standardssh
