   Please replace “password” with your SSH password, “username” with your SSH username, and “hostname/IP address” with the hostname or IP address you want to connect to.

Please be aware that transmitting SSH passwords as plain text using sshpass may pose a security risk. It is recommended to use other more secure authentication methods, such as SSH key pairs.
