I gave this so called web developer username and password to ssh into our server. This is his reply:

"Hey we tried to log into your server. We are getting permission error. Please fix that"

Me: Sure, can you tell me how are you trying to connect?

"We tried to ssh like this: ssh root@xxx.com"

Me (in my mind): WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU USING ROOT FOR!?!

undefined

developer

web

ssh

root

    Looks like a copy and paste effort to me.

    @pixeltherapy If a laravel web developer doesn't know how to ssh I really don't know what to say.

    SSH is the most basic thing a professional web developer should know

    did u ask him why root and not the username you provided? that might have solved the issue by a confession from their end .

    @ElliotMrRobot Yeah I did that. But I was shocked that they were trying root access into someone else's server

    @cyb3rDweller You can also specify a port number if its not the default 22 like so:

    ssh cyb3rDweller@example.com -P 3333

    There you go, now you've learnt another thing! :P
