## SSH manually

Manual SSH setup is not available in the CLI. To save SSH keys, attach them to instances, or copy raw SSH connection details, use the [console SSH workflow](/console/operations/ssh).

For the standard CLI connection flow, use [Connect to Instances](/cli/operations/connecting-to-instances).
