webt server list --page 2

# Check VM's running state, CPU, RAM, and local IP address
webt server instance-status my-server

## Check if the server is up and running
webt server ssh-check my-server

# Jump in, no need to configure and share SSH keys
webt ssh my-server

# Copy files to and from your server
webt scp ./local-file.txt my-server:remote-file.txt

webt scp my-server:remote-directory/ ./ -r

Authentication

webt login will prompt you for your WebTender API Key and save it to ~/.webtender-config.json

Manage your WebTender API Keys here

You can run webt login --check or webt me to test your API Key.

Change your API Key with webt login --api-key (your key)

You can also set your API Key with the WEBTENDER_API_KEY environment variable in a .env local to the working directory of webt. Environment variables override the ~/.webtender-config.json file.
