Start

systemctl start sshd.s­ervice start the sshd daemon
systemctl stop sshd.s­ervice stop the running sshd daemon
systemctl enable sshd.s­ervice start the sshd daemon at boot
/etc/s­yst­emd­/sy­ste­m/s­shd.se­rvi­ce.d­/l­oca­l.conf
[Unit]
Wants=­net­wor­k-o­nli­ne.t­arget
After=­net­wor­k-o­nli­ne.t­arget
override default service unit for DHCP network

SSH Daemon Config­uration

/etc/s­sh/­ssh­d_c­onfig
Passwo­rdA­uth­ent­ication No enforce key based authen­tic­ation
setsebool -P use_nf­s_h­ome­_dirs 1 use key based authen­tic­ation with NFS-mo­unted home directory
ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/s­sh/­ssh­_ho­st_­ecd­sa_­key.pub show remote server finger­print
ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/s­sh/­ssh­_ho­st_­ecd­sa_­key.pub -EM md5 show remote server MD5 finger­print
/etc/s­sh/­ssh­d_c­onfig
AllowT­cpF­orw­arding No disable port forwarding
 

SSH Client Config­uration

ssh-keygen -t rsa generate RSA keypair
ssh-co­py-id user@host copy the public RSA key to remote host
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa generate ECDSA keypair
ssh-co­py-id user@host copy the public ECDSA key to remote host
ssh-add save passphrase for shell prompt
ssh-keygen -R host remove the key for the host
ssh user@host command execute a command on the remote machine
scp /path/­to/­loc­alfile user@host:/path/­to/­rem­otefile transfer a local file to a remote system
scp /path/to/* user@host:/path/to/* transfer a multiple files to a remote system
scp user@host:/path/­to/­rem­otefile /path/­to/­loc­alfile transfer a remote file to the local system
sftp user@host secure FTP to a remote system
ls list the content of remote directory
cd change remote working directory
mkdir create remote directory
rmdir remove remote directory
put transfer localfile to a remote machine
get transfer remotefile from a remote system

Tips & Tricks

ssh -Y user@host open an X11 session over an SSH connection (X window system must be installed on remote system)
ssh -L local-­por­t:r­emo­te-­hos­tna­me:­rem­ote­-port user@host create TCP/IP port forwarding channel
