What happens when you connect to a SSH server?
How SSH Works. When you connect through SSH, you will be dropped into a shell session, which is a text-based interface where you can interact with your server. For the duration of your SSH session, any commands that you type into your local terminal are sent through an encrypted SSH tunnel and executed on your server.
How can I connect to a remote SSH server?
Assuming you can access a remote SSH server, you can connect to that SSH server and use remote port forwarding. Your SSH client will tell the server to forward a specific port—say, port 1234—on the SSH server to a specific address and port on your current PC or local network.
How can I copy my SSH key to another server?
Copying your Public SSH Key to a Server Without SSH-Copy-ID. If you do not have the ssh-copy-id utility available, but still have password-based SSH access to the remote server, you can copy the contents of your public key in a different way. You can output the contents of the key and pipe it into the ssh command.
How does a client know which SSH key to use?
When a client connects to the host, wishing to use SSH key authentication, it will inform the server of this intent and will tell the server which public key to use. The server then checks its authorized_keys file for the public key, generates a random string, and encrypts it using the public key.
How can I tell if my SSH service is running?
In case the service isn’t running, start again using systemct1 start sshd or service ssh start depending on the OS system. SSH service port can be checked using two methods. First is to check the SSH configuration folder, second is to examine how the system is running.
