Secure Telnet (SSH): How do I set up SSH on my domain?
|
To get started with SSH, you must do the following:
1. wrchosting must enable SSH on your account.
To do this, please raise a request for SSH access. For security reasons, please also fax a copy of your passport, drivers licence, or other nationally issued photo identity to us on:
+1 416-907-4201.
We will then enable the SSH icon in your account control panel so you can continue with the rest of the steps.
2. Acquire client side software
Here are some companies we recommend who sell client versions of SSH.
For Windows Systems
The most stable is SecureCRT. They have a 30 day free trial available at their web site. SecureCRT is at

Mac OSX users can use the OpenSSH software built right into the OS! Open the Terminal and type 'man ssh'.
Linux and other *nix users can use OpenSSH available at
http://www.openssh.com/
3. Follow the SSH client side software instructions to generate an RSA key
4. Install the key in the SSH section of your Control Panel.
Open the file that has your key in Notepad / Simpletext (i.e. not a word processing software) and copy / paste it to the SSH section of your Control Panel where it asks for your key.
5. After your SSH public key has been placed on the server, specify the addresses you will access your account from. This is to ensure that you are the person trying to Telnet to our system and not an intruder.
You can either specify this in domain name format, or in ip address format. An asterisk must be used instead of the 'www' in domain name format, and may also be used as a 'wildcard' character to allow you to specify a range of ip addresses, for example where you are connecting via modem and are assigned a dynamic ip address each time.
Some examples:
*.btinternet.com
*.aol.com
*.freeserve.net
192.168.*.* (allows all ip addresses from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255)
10.0.3.* (allows all ip addresses from 10.0.3.0 to 10.0.3.255)
Note: If you do not know what the address is that you are using to connect to the Internet try these options.
Windows 9X users: Choose 'Start'>'Run'>'winipcfg'.
Windows NT/2000 users: Choose 'Start'>'Run'>'cmd' to get the dos prompt and type 'ipconfig'
MacOS 7-9.X: Select 'Apple'>'Control Panels'>'TCP/IP'
MacOSX: Select the Network Tools utility from 'Applications'>'Utilities'
