You can connect to a remote host by using the sshg3
command on the command line client:
Enter the sshg3
command using the following basic syntax:
$ sshg3 user@host#port
where:
user
- Enter a username that is valid on the
remote host. The user@
attribute is optional.
If no username is given, the local username is assumed.
host
- Enter the name of the remote host as an IP
address, FQDN, or short hostname. The remote host must be running a
Secure Shell version 2 server.
port
- Enter the number of the Secure Shell listen
port on the remote server. The #port
attribute is optional.
If no port is given, the default Secure Shell port 22 is assumed.
The server authentication phase starts. The server sends its public key to the client for validation (when server public-key authentication is used).
When a new host public key is received, a host identification message is displayed. For example:
$ sshg3 user@host Host key not found from database. Key fingerprint: xecic-fifub-kivyh-kohag-zedyn-logum-pycuz-besug-galoh-gupah-xaxby You can get a public key's fingerprint by running % ssh-keygen -F publickey.pub on the keyfile. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
The message shows the fingerprint of the host's public key in the SSH Babble format that is a series of pronounceable five-letter words in lower case and separated by dashes.
Verify the validity of the fingerprint, preferably by contacting the administrator of the remote host computer by telephone.
After the fingerprint has been verified and found to be correct, it is safe to save the key and continue connecting.
If you choose to save the server public key, a copy of the key will be
stored on SSH Tectia Client in the $HOME/.ssh2/hostkeys
directory. After
the first connection, the local copy of the server public key will be used
in server authentication.
The user authentication phase starts. You will be prompted to authenticate yourself to the server with your password or with the passphrase of your private key.
After the server has successfully authenticated you, the Secure Shell connection to the server is opened.
