HowTo: Install ssh In Linux

SSH (Secure Shell) is a widely used network protocol for securely connecting to remote computers and transferring files between systems. It is commonly used to remotely access and manage servers, as well as to transfer files between systems.

To install SSH on a Linux system, follow these steps:

1. Update the package manager's package list by running the following command:

sudo apt-get update

2. Install the SSH server and client by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client

This will install the SSH server and client and any dependencies required.

3. To start the SSH server, run the following command:

sudo systemctl start ssh

4. To enable the SSH server to start automatically at boot, run the following command:

sudo systemctl enable ssh

5. To verify that the SSH server is running, run the following command:

systemctl status ssh

This will display the status of the SSH server. If it is running, you will see a message indicating that the service is active.

6. To connect to a remote system using SSH, use the following syntax:

ssh <user>@<host>

Replace <user> with the username on the remote system, and <host> with the hostname or IP address of the remote system. For example:

ssh myuser@example.com

This will connect to the remote system as the myuser user.

That's it! SSH is now installed and configured on your Linux system. You can use it to remotely access and manage other systems, as well as to transfer files between systems.
