How to SSH into my pythonanywhere instance

Hi I tried to set up an SSH connection to pythonanywhere from my Windows Machine using WinSCP. I used the following credentials: Host:<<myusername>>.pythonanywhere.com, Port: 22 for login and password, I used my pythonanywere login and password. Of course, it did not work. What do you think I am doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.

For anyone else having the same problem -- the hostname for SSH access is not yourusername.pythonanywhere.com, but rather ssh.pythonanywhere.com (if you're using our US-based servers) or ssh.eu.pythonanywhere.com (if you're on our EU-based system).
