SSH Server Configuration

Secure Shell (SSH) is UNIX-based command interface and network protocol used to gain secure access to a remote computer,

execute commands on a remote machine or to transfer files between machines. It was designed as a replacement for Telnet

and other insecure remote shell protocols which send information, including passwords, as plain text.

SSH uses RSA public key cryptography for both connection and authentication. There are several ways of using SSH:

Use automatically generated public-private key pairs to encrypt the network connection and then use password

authentication to log on.

Use a manually generated public-private key pair to perform the authentication and allow users or programs to log

in without using a password.

To configure SSH:

1. Select the types of authentication you want to use by clicking the Enable password authentication and Enable key

authentication toggle keys on or off.

2. Click the Save button.
