Prerequisite

In order to enjoy all the benefits of this protocol, it is necessary to have a Windows version equal to or greater than 1803.

Installing the SSH client

First, let’s verify the SSH client installation. With this intention, enter in Windows Settings pressing the combination Win+I. Once there, select Apps

Then click on Optional features.

In the next window, you will see all the optional functions. Then scroll down to find the OpenSSH Client. In this case, the client is already installed, so there is nothing else to do. In case it is not, just click on the install button.

Add SSH server in Windows 10

From the previous screen please click on Add a feature:

Now scroll down and select OpenSSH Server. Press install and wait a few seconds while the function is installed. Once the action is executed, please restart the computer to confirm the changes.

Configure OpenSSH Server to start with Windows.

From now on the client and the SSH server are installed. For the SSH server to be activated every time we start Windows we will have to do the following. Press the Win+R combination and run services.msc

Then scroll down and select OpenSSH SSH Server and OpenSSH Authentication Agent:

Now what we are going to do is to activate them so that they start every time you start Windows. With that intention double-click on OpenSSH Authentication Agent and in the startup type select Automatic. Then press Apply and finally accept.

We will repeat this procedure with the OpenSHH SSH Server Service

As we did in the previous step, restart the computer to set the changes. With these steps, we will be able to install the server and the SSH client in Windows 10.

Testing the SSH client and server

After restarting the computer, it is necessary to verify if the SSH services are active. To do this, open a PowerShell as administrator by pressing the Win+X combination.

Then execute the following command:

 Get-Service -Name *ssh* 

If all goes well, you will see the next result in the PowerShell, showing the two services running:

Configuring the Windows firewall

In order to have access to our computer through SSH we have to configure the Windows Firewall. To do this we open a PowerShell as administrator and execute the following command:

.\netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SSHD Port" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=22 

It then tests whether the SSH server is listening on port 22. For this purpose, from a PowerShell with administrator privileges runs the following command:

.\netstat -bano | .\more.com

Connect to an SSH server from Windows.

From now on we can connect remotely to an SSH server. To execute it, it is necessary to know 3 parameters:

• User name
• Server IP Address
• Know the port where the SSH server is listening. In this case, the port is 22.
• User password

Once this data is known, open a PowerShell and run the following command:

 ssh -p 22 coolr@192.168.1.58

Then add the password to access the remote computer. And you will have access via PowerShell to the SSH server.

Conclusion

Finally, we have seen how to install an SSH client and server in Windows 10. This way we will be able to remotely manage any device that uses this protocol. Additionally, security is increased because the communication between host and client is encrypted. In this way, our data remains safe from possible attackers. This is all for the moments, before saying goodbye I want to invite you to see our post about Telnet in Windows Server.

How tmate works?
When launching tmate, an ssh session is established to tmate.io (backend servers maintained by tmate developers) in the background through libssh. Once connection is established, a 150 bits session token ID is generated by local server for each session. Finally teammates connect to tmate.io server using the SSH session token ID.

Prerequisites:
You must generate ssh key on your server, where you want to install tmate.

Install Tmate in Linux

On most Linux distributions, Tmate can be installed from the default repositories.

For Debian and Ubuntu-based run following commands to install Tmate.

apt-get install software-properties-common
add-apt-repository ppa:tmate.io/archive 
apt-get update 
apt-get install tmate

Run below command for Tmate installation on FreeBSD

pkg install tmate

Run below command for Tmate installation on FreeBSD

pkg_add tmate

On Arch Linux, Run below command for Tmate installation

yaourt -S tmate

On Gento, run emerge commandv to install it.

emerge tmate

On Fedora use following command to install Tmate.

dnf install tmate

For CentOS and RHEL you need to follow below steps to install Tmate.

Step 1: Create Yum repository

Run below command

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/tmate.repo

And add below text in tmate.repo file

[osradar-tmate-repo]
name=osradar tmate repo
baseurl=http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

Now save changes and exit.

Step 2: Install Tmate on CentOS

Run below command

yum install tmate -y

Once you installed Tmate on your desired Linux distribution, launch Tmate by running the following command from your Terminal

tmate

After launching tmate, an SSH session token ID will be generated (In my case it is ckWOyq06o1M5zGIICwMAVUSdJ@am2.tmate.io ). You need to share it with your mates so that they can access your terminal.

To access your server terminal, your mate will need to open his/her terminal and run below command.

ssh ckWOyq06o1M5zGIICwMAVUSdJ@am2.tmate.io

You can use below command to see tmate stats

tmate show-messages

To exit from a session, type exit

exit
