SSH Secure Shell Setup 3.2.5

SALtech offers a comprehensive guide on setting up SSH Secure Shell, a popular tool used for remote access and secure file transfer.

First, the user needs to download and install the SSH server and client software. SALtech recommends using OpenSSH, a free and open-source implementation of the SSH protocol.

Next, the user must generate an SSH key pair consisting of a public and private key using a tool like ssh-keygen. The private key must be kept secure while the public key is shared with remote servers or systems.

After generating the keys, the user should configure the SSH server to only allow key-based authentication and disable password authentication for added security.

SALtech's guide also covers best practices like creating separate SSH keys for different systems, using passphrases to protect private keys, and monitoring server logs for unauthorized access attempts.

• Tip: Keep your software updated with security patches to prevent vulnerabilities.
