Created page with "Using this function, you can manage console tools remotely via the SSH protocol ..."

New page

Using this function, you can manage console tools remotely via the SSH protocol (secure shell). The default user is '''cli''' and cannot be altered. The password, however, can be changed.

'''Allow IP'''      Here you can assign IP addresses (separated by a semicolon) which are granted remote access to the server.  When left blank, the field indicates no restrictions. '''Set port''' The default port is 22222 for security reasons, because high-number ports are invisible to port scanners.  You can only change the setting to a port within the 1024-65535 range.  You cannot indicate ports already in use. '''Password''' Password length is 5 characters minimum.  Be sure to use strong passwords. '''Confirm password''' Please retype your new password.

Password cannot contain:
<ul style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<li>special characters such as ' " ` ^ & $ # [ ] \/ | *</li>
<li>spaces</li>
</ul>

To connect to the server from Linux/MacOSX systems use: ''ssh -2 -p 22222 -l cli ip_address''

where:
<ul style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

<li>option: -l indicates the user (the user needs to be '''cli''')</li>
<li>option: address_ip indicates the address of the server to which you want to connect</li>
</ul>

You will be asked for the remote access password you have entered on the server.

To connect to the server from Microsoft Windows, download the free SSH client ([http://www.putty.nl/ Putty]):
<ul style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">

<li>in the '''Port''' field, enter the same port as in the server GUI (default 22222)</li>
<li>in the '''Protocol''' field, select '''SSH'''</li>
<li>in the category: '''Connection''' -> '''Data''' -> '''Auto-login-username,''' enter: '''cli'''</li>
