Log in remotely with SSH (Linux)





Issue


Log in remotely with SSH under Linux.

Solution


The commands below are relevant only if you have an existing account on the PC you want to connect and that a SSH server is installed.

When using Linux the syntax is quite simple as the client part is already set in for most versions

Type the following command in any terminal (interface): 

ssh login:password@the pc I want to get connected to


or 

login@(the pc I want to get connected to )


If the client accepts the connection, you will immediately be prompted to enter the password.

To login in graphical mode(using X server)you must use theX option.

Using SSH through a proxy:


First have the proxy pack installed. 

sudo aptitude install proxy-connect


modify the/etc/ssh/ssh_config file to allow the use of SSHthrough the proxy: 

sudo echo 'ProxyCommand /usr/bin/connect-proxy -4 -S myproxy.domain.com:port %h %p' >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Note:

Make sure to replace myproxy.domain.com ant the port by the name of your proxy and the port number.
