    Connecting to OpenSSh Server

    I setup an openssh-server, and is wondering how do I connect to it?

    From another machine, open a terminal window and type

    Code:
    ssh username@192.168.0.0
    and replace "username" with your username and "192.168.0.0" with the IP address of your server.

    From the command line of the client machine:

    ssh user@servername_or_IP

    It will prompt you for the user's password and then you will be logged on to the server at a command prompt.

    Tim and I both had the same answer ... does that answer your question? There are many ways to connect to a machine via ssh depending on what you want to do.

    I guess we should also add that on a ******* machine you can use PuTTY.

    I tried it, but the the thing times out.
    When you say username, do you mean a username created on the machine or hostname.

    And is the address, the address next to "inet addr" when I type in ifconfig

    The user name would be the user you created on the server.

    The IP address would be the IP address of the server you are trying to connect to.

    Also, on the server run this command to start the ssh daemon:

    /usr/sbin/sshd

    Re: Connecting to OpenSSh Server

    You can see if the port is open by issuing the command:

    nmap yourserverip (or your http://server.com)

    Could be a firewall issue, you need to allow access to that port (22).

    Could you elaborate more about running that command, cause it does not seem to work, when I type that command, and I can't seem to find that folder

    If it were a firewall issue, wouldn't it say "connection refused" right away?
