SSH2

SSH2.EXE is a command line version of the SSH Secure Shell 2 utility.

The syntax of SSH2 is:


ssh2 [options] [user@]host[#port] [command]

The following options are available:


  -l user     Log in using this user name.

  +x          Enable X11 connection forwarding.

  -x          Disable X11 connection forwarding.

  -i file     Identity file for public key authentication

  -F file     Read an alternative configuration file.

  -t          Tty; allocate a tty even if command is given.

  -v          Verbose; display verbose debugging messages.  Equal to `-d 2'

  -d level    Set debug level.

  -V          Display version number only.

  -q          Quiet; don't display any warning messages.

  -c cipher   Select encryption algorithm. Multiple -c options are

              allowed and a single -c flag can have only one cipher.

  -m MAC      Select MAC algorithm. Multiple -m options are

              allowed and a single -m flag can have only one MAC.

  -p port     Connect to this port.  Server must be on the same port.

  -S          Don't request a session channel.

  -L listen-port:host:port   Forward local port to remote address

  -R listen-port:host:port   Forward remote port to local address

              These cause SSH to listen for connections on a port, and

              forward them to the other side by connecting to host:port.

  +C          Enable compression.

  -C          Disable compression.

  -o 'option' Process the option as if it was read from a configuration file.

  -h          Display this help.

The command can be either of the following:

  • remote_command [arguments] ...

    Run command in remote host.

  • -s service

    Enable a service in remote server.

Type SSH2 without arguments to see the command line syntax and the location of the configuration files.
