View source for RBVM Ssh

First of all, you will need to install an ssh server on your VM before you can ssh to it. You will probably need to do this with a [[RBVM_Vnc|VNC Viewer]]. When your in your VM, you can install OpenSSH with:

   apt-get install openssh-server

== Access from other Redbrick servers ==

Note your VM's IP address from the VM Management page. To login simply ssh to that IP address, with your VM user/pass (not your Redbrick login details).

   ssh username@IP_ADDRESS

== Access from an external machine ==

You will need to setup a tunnel to get to your VM, if you're accessing from outside Redbrick. To do this, type:

   ssh -L 1337:YOUR_VM_IP_ADDRESS:22 username@login.redbrick.dcu.ie

This binds port 5900 on your own computer to daniel (the server with the VMs). So to connect to your VM:

   ssh 127.0.0.1 -p 1337
