SSH into a remote server (if available) using a key file and check the logged-in username. (Use whoami)

SSH into the Remote Server Using a Key File

Use the following command to connect to the remote server:

bashCopyEditssh -i /path/to/private_key username@remote_server_ip

• -i /path/to/private_key → Specifies the SSH private key file

• username@remote_server_ip → Replace with your actual username and server IP/domain

---

Step 2: Verify the Logged-in Username

Once logged in, run:

bashCopyEditwhoami

Expected Output:

nginxCopyEditusername

This confirms that you are logged in as "username" on the remote server.

Step 3: (Optional) Check the Hostname

To verify the server name, run:

bashCopyEdithostname

Example Output:

pgsqlCopyEditremote-server
