Logging In to a Linux ECS Using VNC

This section describes how to use VNC provided on the management console to log in to an ECS.

If you cannot use other remote login tools to log in to an ECS, you can use the VNC login mode. This login mode is mainly used in emergency O&M scenarios for you to view and perform maintenance operations.

After the login is successful, if you need to use the VNC-provided copy and paste functions, see Follow-up Procedure.

If you set Login Mode to Key pair when purchasing the ECS, you have used an SSH key to log in to the Linux ECS and set a login password.

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. Under Computing, click Elastic Cloud Server.
4. In the Operation column of the target ECS, click Remote Login.
5. (Optional) When the system displays "Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to log on", click Ctrl+Alt+Del in the upper part of the remote login page to log in to the ECS.
   Note

   Do not press CTRL+ALT+DELETE on the physical keyboard because this operation does not take effect.

6. Enter the ECS password as prompted.
