84 (SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for
85 executing commands on a remote machine.
86 It is intended to replace
87 rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between
88 two untrusted hosts over an insecure network.
90 arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
93 connects and logs into the specified
96 his/her identity to the remote machine using one of several methods
97 depending on the protocol version used:
99 .Ss SSH protocol version 1
101 First, if the machine the user logs in from is listed in
104 .Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
105 on the remote machine, and the user names are
106 the same on both sides, the user is immediately permitted to log in.
111 exists in the user's home directory on the
112 remote machine and contains a line containing the name of the client
113 machine and the name of the user on that machine, the user is
115 This form of authentication alone is normally not
116 allowed by the server because it is not secure.
118 The second authentication method is the
122 method combined with RSA-based host authentication.
123 It means that if the login would be permitted by
126 .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv ,
128 .Pa /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv ,
129 and if additionally the server can verify the client's
131 .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
133 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
136 section), only then login is permitted.
137 This authentication method closes security holes due to IP
138 spoofing, DNS spoofing and routing spoofing.
139 [Note to the administrator:
140 .Pa /etc/hosts.equiv ,
142 and the rlogin/rsh protocol in general, are inherently insecure and should be
143 disabled if security is desired.]
145 As a third authentication method,
147 supports RSA based authentication.
148 The scheme is based on public-key cryptography: there are cryptosystems
149 where encryption and decryption are done using separate keys, and it
150 is not possible to derive the decryption key from the encryption key.
151 RSA is one such system.
152 The idea is that each user creates a public/private
153 key pair for authentication purposes.
154 The server knows the public key, and only the user knows the private key.
156 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
157 lists the public keys that are permitted for logging
159 When the user logs in, the
161 program tells the server which key pair it would like to use for
163 The server checks if this key is permitted, and if
164 so, sends the user (actually the
166 program running on behalf of the user) a challenge, a random number,
167 encrypted by the user's public key.
168 The challenge can only be
169 decrypted using the proper private key.
170 The user's client then decrypts the
171 challenge using the private key, proving that he/she knows the private
172 key but without disclosing it to the server.
175 implements the RSA authentication protocol automatically.
176 The user creates his/her RSA key pair by running
178 This stores the private key in
179 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
180 and the public key in
181 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity.pub
182 in the user's home directory.
183 The user should then copy the
186 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
187 in his/her home directory on the remote machine (the
189 file corresponds to the conventional
191 file, and has one key
192 per line, though the lines can be very long).
193 After this, the user can log in without giving the password.
194 RSA authentication is much
195 more secure than rhosts authentication.
197 The most convenient way to use RSA authentication may be with an
198 authentication agent.
201 for more information.
203 If other authentication methods fail,
205 prompts the user for a password.
206 The password is sent to the remote
207 host for checking; however, since all communications are encrypted,
208 the password cannot be seen by someone listening on the network.
210 .Ss SSH protocol version 2
212 When a user connects using protocol version 2
213 similar authentication methods are available.
214 Using the default values for
215 .Cm PreferredAuthentications ,
216 the client will try to authenticate first using the hostbased method;
217 if this method fails public key authentication is attempted,
218 and finally if this method fails keyboard-interactive and
219 password authentication are tried.
221 The public key method is similar to RSA authentication described
222 in the previous section and allows the RSA or DSA algorithm to be used:
223 The client uses his private key,
224 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
226 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa ,
227 to sign the session identifier and sends the result to the server.
228 The server checks whether the matching public key is listed in
229 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
230 and grants access if both the key is found and the signature is correct.
231 The session identifier is derived from a shared Diffie-Hellman value
232 and is only known to the client and the server.
234 If public key authentication fails or is not available a password
235 can be sent encrypted to the remote host for proving the user's identity.
239 supports hostbased or challenge response authentication.
241 Protocol 2 provides additional mechanisms for confidentiality
242 (the traffic is encrypted using 3DES, Blowfish, CAST128 or Arcfour)
243 and integrity (hmac-md5, hmac-sha1).
244 Note that protocol 1 lacks a strong mechanism for ensuring the
245 integrity of the connection.
247 .Ss Login session and remote execution
249 When the user's identity has been accepted by the server, the server
250 either executes the given command, or logs into the machine and gives
251 the user a normal shell on the remote machine.
252 All communication with
253 the remote command or shell will be automatically encrypted.
255 If a pseudo-terminal has been allocated (normal login session), the
256 user may use the escape characters noted below.
258 If no pseudo tty has been allocated, the
259 session is transparent and can be used to reliably transfer binary
261 On most systems, setting the escape character to
263 will also make the session transparent even if a tty is used.
265 The session terminates when the command or shell on the remote
266 machine exits and all X11 and TCP/IP connections have been closed.
267 The exit status of the remote program is returned as the exit status
271 .Ss Escape Characters
273 When a pseudo terminal has been requested, ssh supports a number of functions
274 through the use of an escape character.
276 A single tilde character can be sent as
278 or by following the tilde by a character other than those described below.
279 The escape character must always follow a newline to be interpreted as
281 The escape character can be changed in configuration files using the
283 configuration directive or on the command line by the
287 The supported escapes (assuming the default

310 and if the peer supports it)
313 .Ss X11 and TCP forwarding
319 (or, see the description of the
323 options described later)
324 and the user is using X11 (the
326 environment variable is set), the connection to the X11 display is
327 automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11
328 programs started from the shell (or command) will go through the
329 encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made
330 from the local machine.
331 The user should not manually set
333 Forwarding of X11 connections can be
334 configured on the command line or in configuration files.
335 Take note that X11 forwarding can represent a security hazard.

347 X server on the server machine for forwarding the
348 connections over the encrypted channel.
351 will also automatically set up Xauthority data on the server machine.
352 For this purpose, it will generate a random authorization cookie,
353 store it in Xauthority on the server, and verify that any forwarded
354 connections carry this cookie and replace it by the real cookie when
355 the connection is opened.
356 The real authentication cookie is never
357 sent to the server machine (and no cookies are sent in the plain).
363 (or, see the description of the
367 options described later) and
368 the user is using an authentication agent, the connection to the agent
369 is automatically forwarded to the remote side.
371 Forwarding of arbitrary TCP/IP connections over the secure channel can
372 be specified either on the command line or in a configuration file.
373 One possible application of TCP/IP forwarding is a secure connection to an
374 electronic purse; another is going through firewalls.
376 .Ss Server authentication
379 automatically maintains and checks a database containing
380 identifications for all hosts it has ever been used with.
381 Host keys are stored in
382 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
383 in the user's home directory.
384 Additionally, the file
385 .Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
386 is automatically checked for known hosts.
387 Any new hosts are automatically added to the user's file.
388 If a host's identification
391 warns about this and disables password authentication to prevent a
392 trojan horse from getting the user's password.
394 this mechanism is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks which could
395 otherwise be used to circumvent the encryption.
397 .Cm StrictHostKeyChecking
398 option can be used to prevent logins to machines whose
399 host key is not known or has changed.
401 The options are as follows:
404 Disables forwarding of the authentication agent connection.
406 Enables forwarding of the authentication agent connection.
407 This can also be specified on a per-host basis in a configuration file.
409 Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the
410 ability to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the agent's
411 Unix-domain socket) can access the local agent through the forwarded
412 connection. An attacker cannot obtain key material from the agent,
413 however they can perform operations on the keys that enable them to
414 authenticate using the identities loaded into the agent.
415 .It Fl b Ar bind_address
416 Specify the interface to transmit from on machines with multiple
417 interfaces or aliased addresses.

449 by control-Z suspends the connection, and followed by itself sends the
450 escape character once.

460 is going to ask for passwords or passphrases, but the user
461 wants it in the background.
464 The recommended way to start X11 programs at a remote site is with
466 .Ic ssh -f host xterm .
468 Allows remote hosts to connect to local forwarded ports.
469 .It Fl i Ar identity_file
470 Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for
471 RSA or DSA authentication is read.
473 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/identity
474 for protocol version 1, and
475 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
477 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
478 for protocol version 2.
479 Identity files may also be specified on
480 a per-host basis in the configuration file.
481 It is possible to have multiple
483 options (and multiple identities specified in
484 configuration files).
485 .It Fl I Ar smartcard_device
486 Specifies which smartcard device to use. The argument is
489 should use to communicate with a smartcard used for storing the user's

493 This may also be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
494 .It Fl l Ar login_name
495 Specifies the user to log in as on the remote machine.
496 This also may be specified on a per-host basis in the configuration file.
498 Additionally, for protocol version 2 a comma-separated list of MAC
499 (message authentication code) algorithms can
500 be specified in order of preference.

507 (actually, prevents reading from stdin).
508 This must be used when
510 is run in the background.
511 A common trick is to use this to run X11 programs on a remote machine.
513 .Ic ssh -n shadows.cs.hut.fi emacs &
514 will start an emacs on shadows.cs.hut.fi, and the X11
515 connection will be automatically forwarded over an encrypted channel.
518 program will be put in the background.

521 needs to ask for a password or passphrase; see also the
525 Do not execute a remote command.
526 This is useful for just forwarding ports
527 (protocol version 2 only).
529 Can be used to give options in the format used in the configuration file.
530 This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate
533 Port to connect to on the remote host.
534 This can be specified on a
535 per-host basis in the configuration file.
538 Causes all warning and diagnostic messages to be suppressed.
540 May be used to request invocation of a subsystem on the remote system. Subsystems are a feature of the SSH2 protocol which facilitate the use
541 of SSH as a secure transport for other applications (eg. sftp). The
542 subsystem is specified as the remote command.
544 Force pseudo-tty allocation.
545 This can be used to execute arbitrary
546 screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be very useful,
547 e.g., when implementing menu services.

564 options increases the verbosity.
567 Disables X11 forwarding.
569 Enables X11 forwarding.
570 This can also be specified on a per-host basis in a configuration file.
572 X11 forwarding should be enabled with caution. Users with the ability
573 to bypass file permissions on the remote host (for the user's X
574 authorization database) can access the local X11 display through the
575 forwarded connection. An attacker may then be able to perform
576 activities such as keystroke monitoring.

579 data for forwarded X11 and TCP/IP connections).
580 The compression algorithm is the same used by

586 option for protocol version 1.
587 Compression is desirable on modem lines and other
588 slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast networks.

594 Specifies an alternative per-user configuration file.
595 If a configuration file is given on the command line,
596 the system-wide configuration file
597 .Pq Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_config
599 The default for the per-user configuration file is
600 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/config .
601 .It Fl L Ar port:host:hostport
602 Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be
603 forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side.
604 This works by allocating a socket to listen to
606 on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the
607 connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is
612 from the remote machine.
613 Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
614 Only root can forward privileged ports.
615 IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax:
616 .Ar port/host/hostport
617 .It Fl R Ar port:host:hostport
618 Specifies that the given port on the remote (server) host is to be
619 forwarded to the given host and port on the local side.
620 This works by allocating a socket to listen to
622 on the remote side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the
623 connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and a connection is
628 from the local machine.
629 Port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
630 Privileged ports can be forwarded only when
631 logging in as root on the remote machine.
632 IPv6 addresses can be specified with an alternative syntax:
633 .Ar port/host/hostport
637 application-level port forwarding.
638 This works by allocating a socket to listen to
640 on the local side, and whenever a connection is made to this port, the
641 connection is forwarded over the secure channel, and the application
642 protocol is then used to determine where to connect to from the
643 remote machine. Currently the SOCKS4 protocol is supported, and
645 will act as a SOCKS4 server.
646 Only root can forward privileged ports.
647 Dynamic port forwardings can also be specified in the configuration file.
651 to try protocol version 1 only.
655 to try protocol version 2 only.
659 to use IPv4 addresses only.
663 to use IPv6 addresses only.

876 (Note that this file is
877 also used by rlogin and rsh, which makes using this file insecure.)
878 Each line of the file contains a host name (in the canonical form
879 returned by name servers), and then a user name on that host,
880 separated by a space.
881 On some machines this file may need to be
882 world-readable if the user's home directory is on a NFS partition,
886 Additionally, this file must be owned by the user,
887 and must not have write permissions for anyone else.
889 permission for most machines is read/write for the user, and not
890 accessible by others.

895 authentication before permitting \s+2.\s0rhosts authentication.

900 The easiest way to do this is to
901 connect back to the client from the server machine using ssh; this
902 will automatically add the host key to
903 .Pa $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts .
