Connect to server via SSH using MacOS

Hi, Trying to connect server via SSH using MacOS, and i found this url in documentation: SSH Access - Version 76 Documentation - cPanel Documentation To log in to your MacOS or Linux server via SSH, perform the following steps:

• Open a terminal session.
• Run the following command: ssh -p port user@IP Note: In the above command:
  • port represents the port number.
  • user represents your username.
  • IP represents your IP address.

And i'm confused: 1.Which port? How do i know my port? 2. user name, i think this refer to: root ? 3. IP address, is this server IP? or my network/router IP? Any one using MacOS, appreciate it.

  if you have not changed your ssh port then the port will be 22 if you are still unsure what your port is you can restart ssh in whm & it will show you what port SSH is listening on

  Hello @hoseke, If you're attempting to access your cPanel & WHM server via SSH as "root", then your username is "root" and the IP address is the IP address of the cPanel & WHM server. By default, the SSH port is 22. Thank you.

  Look for this Startup Log Dec 18 09:05:02 hostname systemd[1]: Starting OpenSSH server daemon... Dec 18 09:05:02 hostname sshd[3133744]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22. or you can just open a terminal on WHM an run grep Port /etc/ssh/sshd_config

  sshd (/usr/sbin/sshd -D) is running as root with PID xxxxxxx (systemd+/proc check method)."

  
  This is normal output. It shows that SSH is running well.

  another question: PID is a 7 digits number, but is doesn't mean its the Port number?

  
  PID means "Process ID". It's the ID associated with the SSHd process that's running. Thank you.
