Ssh Config Ubuntu 20.04



A quick guide to setup a SSH-conncection to Virtual Machine Ubuntu Server 20.04

There is no sshdconfig for me, there is an sshconfig but the contents are completely different from what’s shown. Adi Chiru October 17, 2016 at 5:58 pm sshdconfig is the configuration od the ssh server (the daemon is called sshd). Sshconfig is the configuration of the client (ssh is the command to use the client).

In this guide, we will show you how to setup an SFTP server using VSFTPD on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa.

Ubuntu Server

Ubuntu Ssh Client

Ubuntu Server comes without a GUI and nice advanced terminal features like a clipboard. You could install tmux but a more elegant way is to use a shell from your host.

Port Forwarding

Enable ssh on ubuntu 20

Now, on a normal server connected to the same network, you could just SSH in the server right away (if configured right).Running ‘ifconfig’ on your Ubuntu server will show a strange IP like‘10.0.2.15’which has to do with the way Virtual Box treats the virtual machine.If you try to SSH in your virtual machine you will get a misleading error

In case it was really a connection timeout you could just open the ssh config file

and change the line

but this is not the issue here!

As always stackoverflow gets straight to point even though detailed descriptions are missing. The solution is simple port forwarding. Just follow the steps:

Uninstall Ssh Server Ubuntu 20.04

  1. Turn off VM
  2. Go to settings -> network -> adapter1 -> advanced -> port forwarding
  3. Create an entry with Name: ForwardPort (could also be anything else), Protocol: TCP, Host-IP: 127.0.1.1, Host-Port: 2222 (could also be 22 or any other unbmer as long as not occupied already on host), Guest-IP: 10.0.2.15, Guest-Port: 22
  4. Confirm, start VM, log in. SSH server starts automatically.
  5. On host enter in terminal

And there we go! I logged in as user dome on my host ubu.

Transfering files

Enable Ssh On Ubuntu 20.04

Use scp. If you want to transfer a file from guest to host use

Windows SSH support

Since Windows 10 Windows comes with openSSH, so no more need for PuTTy.Anyway, if you login i.e. with Powershell you will note, that the copy paste behavior changes. Before CTRL+C and CTRL+V worked fine, but now you need to mark text and hit ENTER to copy and right click to paste (stackoverflow).

P.S.If you use VIM in Powershell, you will note, that the background color will likely mess up readability and result in a display like this (recognize the dark blue text?)

Where Is Ssh Config Ubuntu

If so, just change the background colors, with right click on the white window bar next to minimize, go to properties -> colors.
