# How to perform an SSH connection via Terminal Proxy

You can access remote devices using the **Segura™ Terminal Proxy**. This process involves first accessing the **Segura™ Platform** environment, and then initiating an SSH or Telnet session to the target device.

## Requirements

- An SSH client installed on your workstation.
- A user account for access to the **Segura™ Platform**.

## Step 1: Access the Segura™ Platform

The first step is to establish an SSH connection from your machine to the **Segura™** server.

1. Open your operating system's terminal or SSH client.
2. Type the connection command in the format below, using port 4022:  

`ssh -p 4022 segura_user%saas_tenant@segura_instance`

### Initial Access Parameters

| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **segura_user** | The username to access the **Segura™ Platform**. |
| **segura_instance** | The provided access URL for your **Segura™** environment. |
| **saas_tenant** | The identifier name of your tenant (e.g., corporation_tenant). |

## Step 2: Navigate the Segura™ Terminal Proxy

After authentication, you will be inside the **Segura™ Terminal Proxy**. This secure environment allows you to manage your connections.

1. To list all available commands and get help, type `list` and press Enter key.
2. The system will display the allowed command options and the devices you can access, reflecting the access policy of your user.

## Step 3: Connect to the target device

Within the **Segura™ Terminal Proxy**, you can execute the command to access the final device using the credentials you have permission for.

1. At the **Segura™ Terminal Proxy** prompt, type the command according to the desired protocol:
  1. **For SSH:** `ssh credential@target_device` or `ssh credential@IP`.
  2. **For Telnet:** `telnet credential@target_device` or `telnet credential@IP`.
2. Press the Enter key.

| Item | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **credential** | The credential username that will be used to access the target device. |
| **target_device** or **IP** | Hostname or IP address of the target device. |

Attention

Depending on your operating system, it may be necessary to use the backslash () before special characters in the initial command for it to work correctly.

If you use applications that do not have interactive prompts or want to perform a direct connection without going through the **Segura™ Terminal Proxy** CLI, you can configure a connection via Multi-hop.
