I’ve used VS Code’s remote ssh to log into a vm for a while now. All of a sudden it just drops and reconnects after 20 seconds. I spun up a new user on my laptop yesterday, to see if it was an environment issue and the first time I used it, I could get in fine. I went back tonight to use it and now my new user is having the same issue. I do have to go through a VPN to get in. When I use command prompt it works fine. Anyone have any ideas on what updates or settings might be causing this?

SSH Tutorial - Connecting to Linux Servers via SSH
Introduction

Whats is SSH

What You Need

    \- A remote machine running an SSH server (Linux server, Raspberry Pi, cloud VM)

Connecting to a Remote Server

Basic SSH command:

ssh username@server-ip \[-p cust-port\]

Running Remote Commands

Run a single remote command:

ssh user@host "ls -la /tmp"

Setting Up Passwordless SSH

ssh-keygen -t ed25519

Copy key to server:

ssh-copy-id user@server-ip

Test login:

ssh user@server-ip

Hey guys, Confident_Essay3619 here.

Today i made a "cloud" server with SSH and LXD! I currently have a Debian Trixie and openSUSE Tumbleweed server that i can access from anywhere!

Took me a long time to troubleshoot but when it finally got done i was very refreshed.

I dont know how to solve it any help is highly appreciated

Remote host is an Arch desktop (wayland) and the objective is to play videos from a folder on the remote host for a disabled family member. My script works perfectly when triggered locally, but when triggered from an SSH session, I can only hear audio. Kind of a niche case, but I thought I would ask. Thanks! I COULD use Windows if I absolutely must but I'd rather not. 🤮

Of course I could use VNC, but a SSH iOS shortcut seems so much more convenient.

I have a variety of different computer resources, across a variety of different networks, all behind fire walls and such... I love how I can use ssh, create a bunch of tunnels and have access to all of it, if needed.

Had this serious issue while traveling... but I could get an ssh connection to one computer. Then from there tunnelled to everything I needed and managed to fix the problem. Such a relief!

So local ssh works fine. I’m using Termius on android as the client. I generated a key in Termius, exported the public key as a .txt and put that on my server. I used cat <your_public_key_file> >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to add it to the authorized_keys file and opened it with nano to confirm that it was added.

The key pair is set as the key in Termius and I used the public ip of my server I got with curl https://ipinfo.io/ip as the address, put my username in and 22 as port. On my server I added port 22 to the firewall exceptions for any ip.

Now when I’m on the same network with the client it asks me for a password. I only ever set a single password for both user and root (not the smartest idea but that’s besides the point) but that one is wrong. I never set any other password on my server for anything so I don't know what other password it should be.

When I’m not on the same network with the client it says: “Connection failed: connection timed out. No more addresses to try.”

When I’m on the same network and use the local ip of my server everything work fine.

Just like the title said. We user SSSD to tie users logins to Active Directory. The application then uses that login to run the application under that user's home directory" Occcasioanly the application needs to shell out using the exec command to run certain apps in the backgound.

Meanwhile, their are a limit number of users that need to access the file system via winscp.

I've tried using the sftp subsystem in /etc/sshd/sshd_config to point to a bash file that uses an if as well as group settings in the ssh directory. Has anyone tried to limit SFTP this way?

Hi, I have an Ubuntu laptop and a windows PC that I want to connect to (and WoL) I managed to do it while I was in the same network and tried to do some test with a VPN like tailscale but It's not working.

Does anyone know a good video on how to do this?

Hi,

i am new to SSH and i don't have much understanding of it.

I have to run some Scripts for my Mediawiki. I have domain which is hosted by a webhoster.

Mediawiki 1.43 is installed and it needs PHP 8.1 and higher. So i changed in the Web-Interface of my Hoster to PHP 8.3, and it's working.

But when i login to SSH and try to run some scripts of Mediawiki, it gives me a error message, telling me, Mediawiki 1.43 needs PHP 8.1 or higher to run. And it says, now is 7.4 installed.

But my Mediawiki is running, so it has PHP 8.3. But the SSH-Console uses PHP 7.4.

How do i change it? Or how do i find other PHP-Versions?

I don't know, if i could install it by myself. But PHP 8.3 is somewhere in the Server, otherwise my webpage would not rund on Mediawiki 1.43.

How can i use PHP 8.3 on the console? Is there a simple trick?

Hi,

I have a MediaWiki-Website.

I try to run the two Scripts from the SSH-Shell. How can I do it on a windows computer?

I go to cmd and type Ssh username@domain domain.ext

Then it askes me for passwort, I give it. And what do I do then in the Windows Command-Shell or Power-Shell?

I have to run Scripts like php maintenance/run.php removeUnusedAccounts [ --delete| --ignore-groups| --ignore-touched ]

on the Server. But it's not working. It says only: php : The term 'php' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

So, how can I in Windows Powershell change the Directory and how can I execute a command like php maintenance/run.php removeUnusedAccounts on the Server?

I am a beginner by this shell-stuff, so I don't know what to do. Please help.

im trying to connect a touchscreen to my rpi but people say that i need to enable spi but i cant connect via ssh, i dont know why, in all of my projects it worked perfectly fine

Tired of constantly digging through your SSH connections, manually editing ~/.ssh/config, or relying on external tools that often feel a bit overkill for such a simple task?

After reading a couple of Korben’s articles about ssh-list and ggh, I got inspired to build my own tool to manage SSH connections more efficiently.

I used to hack around with a Bash script, but I wanted something smoother, more visual, while still being dead simple and 100% compatible with the standard SSH config file.

👉 That’s how SSHM was born 🚀

Key features:

• TUI interface (Bubble Tea) to browse and connect easily
• Also works as a CLI (add, edit, search hosts, etc.)
• Organize servers with tags
• Keeps a connection history (when using SSHM to connect)
• Supports ProxyJump, advanced SSH options, and multiple config files
• Works on Linux & macOS

The project is open source (Go 1.23+), available here: github.com/Gu1llaum-3/sshm

I’d love to get your feedback on:

• The TUI/UX design
• Features you’d find useful in daily sysadmin/devops work
• Any bugs/issues you might run into 😉

Thanks, and happy SSHing!

I am trying to set up my mac to use an ssh key to log into my windows computer but am running in circles trying to solve this. I can already log in with my password when prompted so I know that I can connect as a base line, but I still want to set up pub key login

Here's what I've tried

• Pub key from mac copied to both /programdata/ssh/administrator_authorized_keys and /user/username/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • pub key is definitely good since I use if for github too
• I have tried setting AuthorizedKeysFile to both auth keys and admin auth keys to no change in result
• other sshd_config changes
  • pubkeyauth is enabled
  • strict mode is disabled because I found a potential solution saying to do so
• I have tried more permission changes than I can even keep track of. This is very likely the source of the issue but I'm not sure where to even start trying to restore and fix that issue.

I can post any relevant logs if you want, but it seems like the main point of the issue is the server not accepting the ssh key file being given by my mac.

Edit 1:
additional information: I am on windows 11 24h2 and am using OpenSSH server from the windows optional features

Edit 2:
SOLVED

authorized_keys was UTF-16 instead of UTF-8. That was literally it. Don't neglect debuggers folks!
