Learn how to create a Telnet, Rlogin or SSH session and how to connect to the remote Linux/Unix host.
Telnet and Rlogin sessions are pretty simple to create, but an SSH session requires a user key that should be registered to the SSH server before any connection is made.
If you need a user key registration for the SSH session, see Public Key User Authentication first.
You can create Telnet, Rlogin and SSH protocol sessions.
A new session has been created and you are ready to connect to the remote host. To connect to the remote host, read the Connecting to the remote host section below.
Once you have created a Telnet, Rlogin or SSH session, you can connect to the remote host. If there is no session created, see Creating a session first.
For the public key authentication, select a user key from the list and type in the passphrase in the Passphrase box and click OK.
If there is no user key available, see Public Key User Authentication. |
For the keyboard-interactive (Generic Message Exchange) authentication, click OK and then follow the generic authentication steps.
You can skip the authentication steps by saving the password and/or public key information in the Authentication category of the Properties dialog box. |
You have tried to connect to the remote host using Xshell so far. If you have any problems in using Xshell, see the Troubleshooting section below.
