SSH is a secure way to connect to a Linux device remotely. This guide will provide you with the necessary steps to connect to a Linux device using SSH, for both Windows and Linux systems.
For Windows
To connect to a Linux device using SSH on a Windows system, we recommend using MobaXTerm. Follow these steps:
Open a New Session After launching the program, open a new session by clicking on “Session” in the upper left corner.
Enter Remote Host IP and Username Enter the IP address of the remote host in the "Remote Host" field. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.1.XXX, enter that in the field. Next, select "Specify username" and enter the username.
Enter Password Enter the password and press enter. The default password for the auto setup is "rancher". You do not need to save the password, just click "No".
Successfully Logged in via SSH Once you have entered the required credentials, you will be successfully logged in via SSH.
For Linux
To connect to a Linux device using SSH on a Linux system, you can use the inbuilt commands. Follow these steps:
Connect via SSH Command Open a terminal and enter the following command: ssh @. For example, if the IP address is 192.168.99.118 and the username is "rancher", enter the command ssh [emailprotected].
Enter Yes to Continue When prompted with a warning message that says "The authenticity of host ‘xxx’ can’t be established", enter "yes" to continue with the connection.
Enter Password Enter the password and press enter.
Successfully Logged in via SSH Once you have entered the required credentials, you will be successfully logged in via SSH.
In the tree on the left, select Connection → SSH → Auth → Credentials. In the Private key file for authentication field, select the file with the private key. Go back to the Sessions menu. In the Saved sessions field, enter any session name and click Save.
To use the SSH command in Linux, you typically use the format ssh username@hostname . This command allows you to establish a secure shell connection with a remote server. In this example, we're using the SSH command to connect to a remote server with the IP address 192.168. 1.1 as the user 'user'.
You can start an SSH session in your command prompt by executing ssh user@machine and you will be prompted to enter your password. You can create a Windows Terminal profile that does this on startup by adding the commandline setting to a profile in your settings.json file inside the list of profile objects.
SSH Overview. The most common way of connecting to a remote Linux server is through SSH. SSH stands for Secure Shell and provides a safe and secure way of executing commands, making changes, and configuring services remotely. When you connect through SSH, you log in using an account that exists on the remote server.
To list all connected SSH sessions, you can use the “ss -t -a” command. The “-t” option shows only TCP connections and the “-a” option shows all sockets. The grep command is used to filter the output and shows only ssh connections.
Locate the address of the SSH service. Port opening type. ...
Use the address in a terminal emulation client (such as Putty) or use the following command line to access the VM directly from your desktop SSH client:
