SSH from UNIX to UNIX

[iboyalama]

Namely, I need to ssh into the Red Hat ECF computers at school from home (UBUNTU). The instructor has been giving us links for SSH in XP and Vista machines, but he never mentioned it for other UNIX computers. And he gets pissed when we ask questions. Does anybody know how to do that?

[akosh]

ssh user@address
or
ssh -D port user@address
if you want to specify a port.

[pitz]

ssh <machine_name>

will do the trick. The client will ask you for a username, and password.

Be mindful of ssh perhaps running on a different port number. As an admin I always change the port ssh is running on any machines exposed to the internet. I've seen enough ssh bot attacks that can bring a machine down.

I usually will do ssh -p (whaterver port) user@hostname.com
This will do the trick.
