Rule 1 - never use passwords. Don’t even think about it. Use the public key encryption option.
In layman terms what is/are the benefits of using SSH?
Groovy! I use Putty quite a bit, so it’s nice to have another option.
One of the best things Microsoft did in Windows 10 was include the SSH client, and make the server available for installation. Finally, Windows stumbles into the 1990’s.
I used to use port forwarding a lot, mostly to get around firewalls and stuff. It was very cool. Still use SSH daily. It’s a powerful tool. I’d recommend changing that command above to generate a key to use DSA. RSA is pretty much deprecated these days.
Thank you for this. I couldn’t figure out how to change the username when using powershell to SSH into my Cisco equipment. I just wanted to use radius auth.
Merry Christmas!
(Hmmm ... any chance you could sneak a F@H client onto a few thousand of those servers? Not like they are doing anything except waiting for the next cryptocurrency hijack ... not that anyone could get past your superb security :)
SecureCRT allows you to change the background of a terminal session which is nice if you have multiple servers and you don’t want to confuse them
