Sshd service

[Xeon]

Hi guys!

Once again thanks for helping me yesterday really.

I guess that would be the last one but not least...)))

Can I check the status of the sshd service remotely, this service runs on the Linux machine (Debian) [ guess it would be the 22 tcp port ].

If possible, can this be done via the freshly installed WinXP OS on my laptop [ the LAN network is the same for both the server and client ], probably some parameters, if any, should be used along with the netstat command....?

The actual caveat here is that there's the Linux firewall, which may not allow an outbound connection from the Winxp laptop, and needs to be by-passed.

Tnx!

You can download a free SSH Terminal utility and connect using SSH. Of course, if you're able to connect and log in, SSHD must be working. But if you want to look at the actual running processes on the linux machine, after logging in, use the ps command. More information is available in the manual (man) pages for the flavor of Linux running. Type man sshd in the terminal session.

Bypassing a firewall should not be needed unless you're accessing something you're not supposed to access which our forum doesn't condone or support. Have the administrator open the port you must connect to if you're authorized to access the device.

Some free terminal emulators are:

Thanks,

That has been very informative.

Also, following up myself, [ Start - Run - cmd - telnet hostname or IP 22 ] would be also simple.

Thanks again; all set.
