You can use a terminal session and ssh into hosts. ssh <user>@<hostname>

well i am new at this so i go to:
Application > Internet > Terminal Service Client

then i have to fill in:
computer:
protocol: [RDP, RDPv5]
User Name:
password:
Domain:
Client Hostname:
protocol file:

is this the pace or is there someplace else?

Look for gnome terminal, gterminal or just called terminal.

moiseszaragoza · 08-14-2010, 10:38 PM

ok i found the terminal.
do you know the command to connect to the server

grim76 · 08-14-2010, 10:40 PM

Well that depends on what you are trying to connect to. Are you trying to connect to a linux machine?

In the event that you are trying to connect to a windows machine you are going to have to do something else.

i am trying to connect to Linux machine

i found

ssh -l {username} {hostname}

but it did not work right for me

Ok are you trying to connect to the same machine that you are on? Have you actually installed openssh-server or something similar? Not all distros turn on, or have ssh server installed by default.

well i have not really installed anything. i just got the new Ubuntu a couple of days ago and i am trying to get my dev environment .

but this is my first real time on a Linux machine.

but when i ran ssh by itself this came up

usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
[-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
[-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
[-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
[-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] [user@]hostname [command]

Ok you did not answer my question.

i am trying to connect to a diferent machine.
and i did not installed anything

grim76 · 08-14-2010, 10:55 PM

Ok now that we know that you are trying to connect to another machine:

Use the command below if the username you have on both machines is the same:
ssh <hostname>

Use the following command if your username is different:

ssh <username>@<hostname>

on the commands above that assumes DNS is working. Should you not have DNS working properly you can use the IP addresses of the systems.

moiseszaragoza · 08-14-2010, 10:57 PM

would the ip address be the host name?

root@http://000.000.000.000

Ok take out http:// and yes you can use the IP address. This all depends on there being an SSH Server on the other end of the connection.

i have been trying to do that for a couple of days.
