How do I connect to the server from Mavis (SSH, RDP, VNC, SFTP, PostgreSQL)?

In Mavis, the operation doesn’t allow connecting to the server with Account/Password directly. You have to set up an access server to save your connection secret. Mavis helps to reduce your password/SSH key pair leak risk.

Mavis protocol now supports SSH, RDP, VNC, and SFTP. There are two steps to start your connection:

1. Set up your access service
2. Start server remote connection

Note: If you would like to use SSH/SFTP protocol on your Windows server, please ref to: How to start SFTP service on Windows server?

Set up your access service

1. Click “Access Service” on the side menu and click “Create access service”.
   
   
   
2. Fill in your access service basic information.
   
   
3. At the protocol setting, select your protocol
   • SSH, RDP, VNC, SFTP and port
   • PostgreSQL and port
4. Select the secret for your protocol login.
   
   You can choose “Protocol VNC without account and password” if you don't need a login password for the VNC access service.
   
   
   
5. Select the server that can use this access service. Your server's connection must relate to the access service.
   
   

Start server remote connection

1. If your server had related to access service, you can click "Connect" to start your connection.
   
   
   
   
2. Select your access service and IP address, and click "Connect" to start your SSH/RDP/SFTP/VNC.
   
   
   
   RDP supports the selection of session resolution.
3. After clicking "Connect", you will open a new tab for your server's remote connection.
   
   (SSH connection)
   
   
   (RDP connection)
   
   
   (SFTP connection)
   
   
   
4. You can start your other connection by the "+" button to add more connections on this tab.
