SSH (Secure SHell) is a network protocol that allows you to access a terminal shell remotely. This is particularly useful when performing complicated console operations on the tablet where their limited text-input may get in the way.

Contents

OpenSSH

OpenSSH is the preferred client and server package. It is available in Extras. You can install either only the client or server, or both depending on your particular use-case.

Usage

Client

You can connect to a remote machine from the tablet by running ssh user@server ip. This will give you a remote shell on the server machine.

Server

If you wish to access a shell on the tablet from a remote machine (to edit a local file with a real keyboard, perhaps), then all that you need to do is make sure OpenSSH server is installed on the tablet and ssh root@tablet ip

PuTTY
