# Use SSH to connect to the TelAF simulation container

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/use-ssh-to-connect-to-the-telaf-simulation-container.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/use-ssh-to-connect-to-the-telaf-simulation-container.html)

The container has `openssh-server` built in by default. To use SSH to
            connect to the TelAF simulation container, complete the following steps.

1. Connect to the container from any host using
                `openssh-client`.

        # ssh -p <ssh-port-mapping-number> root@<ip-address-of-host-or-dns-name>
        
        # example:
        ssh -p 9022 root@10.64.39.214Copy to clipboard
2. To upload a file to the TelAF simulation environment, use the following command. The
                default password of the SSH connection is
                `simula`.

        # scp -P <ssh-port-mapping-number> <file-to-transfer> root@<ip-address-of-host-or-dns-name>:/root/<the-destination-path>
        
        # example:
        scp -P 9022 myApp.simulation.update root@10.64.39.214:/root/simulationCopy to clipboard
