Use of SSH Command

[Windhan]

Hi All,

As i am new to Linux Platform, can someone tell me what is the use of SSH Command.

SSH is to log in to a remote server. You will get a command prompt,
a command line session on the server as if you were logged in locally.
Of course, someone on that server must give you an account on
their machine, and run the SSH server daemon. If you have more than one
computer on a local network, you can experiment with it.

ABove command is correct or not?

Localhost is your own computer.

Thank You for your reply.

But the command not working. Means It is asking for password. After entering password , screen remains idle. Nothing is happening. Is the command correct or not?

Well sridhar1985,

What you should know is that linux is one very secured OS

most distributions come with these port blocked by default.

To be able to use this tool more efficiently, open that port on the

remote machine before you can ssh into it.

I don't know which particular version of opensuse you are using

but i know you can unblock port when go to the firewall settings.
