~/.ssh/config
~/.ssh/environment
Usage
ssh Remote_Username@Remoter_Server_Name_Or_IP
ssh -vvv REMOTE_USERNAME@REMOTE_SERVER_NAME_OR_IP
(-v
increase verbosity, maximum 3)ssh -vvv REMOTE_USERNAME@REMOTE_SERVER_NAME_OR_IP 2>&1 | grep "STRING_TO_SEARCH"
Execute a remote command:
ssh USERNAME@SERVER_NAME '/path/to/remote/scripts/backup.sh'
ssh -Q kex SERVER
Example commands
ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new [email protected]
(since OpenSSH 7.5, March 2017)ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no [email protected]
[2]ssh -Q kex SERVER
ssh -o MACs=hmac-sha2-256 HOSTNAME
Multiplexing options
ssh -O check server.example.org or ssh -O check [email protected] Master running (pid=26289)
ssh -O check [email protected] Control socket connect(/path/): No such file or directory
To stop an specific multiplexed session:
Avoid using Multiplexing for a connections:
ssh -o "ControlMaster=no" server.example.org
Logs
ssh -i id_ed25519_xxxxx.pub SERVER_NAME Load key "id_ed25519_xxxxx.pub": invalid format Solution: Use private key instead of public key [3] ssh -i id_ed25519_xxxxx SERVER_NAME
Activities
- Understand differences between stop and exit:
ssh -O exit [email protected]
- Configure OpenSSH to reuse ssh connections
- Execute a command in parallel by ssh
ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=keyboard-interactive -o PubkeyAuthentication=no host1.example.org
- Reverse SSH tunneling
