Bash ssh (Secure SHell) |
Bash command: ssh
Used to securly connect to a remote server using Diffie-Hellman algorythm for key exchange, ssh replaces the archaic telnet program for remote shell sessions.
for example ssh 192.0.2.1
will try to establish a connection with that host. The
address of the remote computer can be provided using an IP address resolvable hostname or FQDN.
If you wish to use a different username then the one initiating the session (i.e. you're using ssh from root but wish to log in as different user to a remote system), the form ssh username@remote_address
can be used, which will then prompt for the user password on successful connection.
Basic usage arguments:
-p
- use a different port then configured in ssh_config file (usually 22)-u
- pass username outside of hostname URI-i
- use a different location for private key
