## Bash command: ssh
|
|
|
|
This command is used **to connect to a remote computer**, for example `ssh 123.456.789.012` will try to establish a connection with that host. The address of the remote computer can be provided using an IP address or, if provided, an identifier.
|
|
|
|
If the remote computer requires the user to login, they can use the form `ssh username@remote_address`, which will then prompt them for the user password on a successful connection.
|
|
|
|
It also has command line options which can be found on the SSH website.
|
|
|
|
One thing to note, if the server is configured to listen to any port other than `22`, then you have to use `-p` option to specify the port. For example: `ssh -p 2024 123.456.789.012`.
|
|
|
|
If the remote computer requires user login, the form `ssh username@remote_address` can be used, which will then prompt for the user password on successful connection.
