Access FortiSandbox CLI

You can execute CLI commands in the FortiSandbox console or use an SSH client. Before logging in, convert the saved pem file you downloaded when you created the key pair ppk file.

If you do not choose the Without Key Pair option, log in using the admin as the username, and the Instance ID as the password.
