what ssh I am using?
 
If I connect to a remote server through ssh. How can I find what ssh I'm using ? ssh1 or ssh2 ?

I believe 'ssh -V' will give you the information you want. Check 'man ssh' for more.

That is correct.

mikeshn,

I don't understand what you mean by ssh1 or ssh2.. it will usually look something like this:
Code:
drew@trickykid:~$ ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.7p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003
ssh or better yet, Openssh isn't referred to as ssh1 or ssh2.. and so on.

Cheers.

2 different versions
 
There are actually 2 different versions of the SSH protocol. If you read the manpage for ssh it will describe how each works. I beleive by default it uses ssh2 but if you want to force it there is a command switch.


ssh -1 Force protocol version 1
ssh -2 Force protocol version 2

The man page does say this:

Code:
    -1      Forces ssh to try protocol version 1 only.

    -2      Forces ssh to try protocol version 2 only.
Unfortunately that is about all I can add to this subject.

The above post went in before I could hit submit I swear!

Ayee.. he should have mentioned protocol then and not make it sound like he was wanting the version that was being used... ;)

I've never seen it mentioned or stated like "ssh1" or "ssh2"... :rolleyes:
