What Is OpenSSH

OpenSSH is a secure connectivity tool that uses SSH encryption to allow remote login and file transfers securely. It includes tools for remote operations like ssh, scp, and sftp, as well as key management tools. OpenSSH uses port 22 by default and supports password and key-based authentication methods. It allows administrators to securely transfer files between systems and remotely access servers.

What is OpenSSH?

OpenSSH is the premier connectivity tool for remote login with the SSH protocol. IT encrypts all traffic to
eliminate eavesdropping, OpenSSH provides a large suite of secure tunneling capabilities, several
authentication methods, and sophisticated configuration options.

Ther OpenSSH suite consists of the following tools

 Remot operation are done using ssh, scp and sftp.


 Key management with ssh-add, ssh-keysing, ssh-keyscan, and ssh-keygen.
 The service side consist of sshd, sftp-server and ssh-agent

OpenSSH

 Package name = Openssh


 Service name = sshd
 Port number = 22
 Server Config path = /etc/ssh/sshd_config
 Client Config path = /etc/ssh/ssh_config
 Login types = password & key generation
 Key gen path = /userhomedir/.ssh

OpenSSH : Password Authentication

#vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

permitRootLogin no

#systemctl restart sshd

Disable Firewall

Disable SELinux

#firewall-cmd –add-service=ssh –permanent

Success

#firewall-cmd –reload

Success
SSH File Transfer (SFTP)

Example for using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)

#sftp [email protected]

[email protected]’password:

sftp>

sftp>pwd (Current directory on remote server)

sftp>!pwd (Current directory on local server)

sftp>ls-alh

sftp>lls-alh

sftp>ls-alh

sftp>put text.txt (upload a file to remote server)

sftp>get.lol.txt (download a file from remote server)

sftp>put *.txt

sftp>get *.txt

OpenSSH : SSH File Transfer (SCP)

Example for using SCP (Secure Copy)

Copy file (test.txt) on local to remote server [lollinux.com]

#scp ./test.txt [email protected]:~/

[email protected]’s password: user’password

Test.txt 100% 10 0.0KB/s 00:00

#copy the [/home/name/text.txt] on remote server [lollinux.com] to the local

#scp [email protected]:/home/sharthu/test.txt./test.txt

[email protected]’s password:

Test.txt 100% 10 0.0KB/s 00:00


#vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Openssh : SSH Key-Pair Authentication Linux Client
#line
Server#ssh-keygen –t ssa
passwordAuthentication no
Server#mv ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub~/.ssh/authorized_keys
#systemctl restart sshd
Client#mkdrir ~/.ssh

Cleent#chmod 700 ~/.ssh

#copy the secret key to local ssh directory

#scp name@mci:/home/name/.ssh/id_rsa ~/.ssh/

name@mci’s password:

client#ssh –i ~/.ssh/id_rsa name@hostname

Enter passphrase for key ‘/home/cent/.ssh/id_rsa’: # passphrae
