How to Configure Basic Terminal Access on Runpod

Runpod provides a quick way to access a custom pod using its basic terminal access feature, which is compatible with any custom container, regardless of whether it includes an SSH daemon or exposed ports. This method is useful for executing quick terminal commands but has limitations, such as the absence of SCP support, limiting its functionality. Instead of offering true SSH access, it provides a bash shell, and for genuine SSH requirements, users are advised to refer to a specific blog post. The setup process involves creating a key pair, retrieving a public key, copying the SSH key to the server, locating the server address, and executing an SSH command with the private key file in a terminal window.
