Using SSH
 

How do i go about using SSH i am completely clueless about how to get it working...
i am trying to access my linux box (redhat 7.2) through ssh from my windows machine...
any tips on how to get it setup and working would be appreciated...

Maybe use linuxconf. Add ssh to running services, then you'll be able to configure it somewhere in network settings.

the sshd (ssh daemon) starts by default when redhat is booted, so unless you killed it, the daemon should be running.

just type in your linux box's IP in the hostname field of your ssh client, then your username (probably root) and your password and connect. it's not too hard.

if you don't have an ssh client, then i'd recommend putty. you can find it by searching this forum, there have been more than a few links posted to DL it. i use a cracked version of securecrt myself... but putty is free. :-)
