![]() At the command prompt, enter the following ssh syntax.Launch the Terminal application, Terminal is found in /Applications/Utilities/ directory but you can also launch it from Spotlight by hitting Command+Spacebar and typing “Terminal” and then return. Ssh Hit the Return key to execute the command Ssh “username” with the appropriate user account of the remote machine, and “ip.address” with the IP address of the remote machine. ![]() Optional: You may need to verify the authenticity of the host, if everything checks out type “yes” to accept a fingerprint key and connect to the SSH server, or type ‘no’ to reject it and disconnect.Login to the remote server by entering the password for the user account you are logging into.That’s it, now you’re logged in to the remote machine via SSH.Īt this point you have access to any command line functionality on the remote computer, assuming you have privileges to perform the task or execute the command. What you do once you’re connected with SSH is up to you, but as state earlier it’s intended for advanced uses like systems administration, server management, network operations, and other higher level tasks that are generally less relevant to the average computer user. When you’re finished you can type “exit” to disconnect from the remote machine, or just close the Terminal app to close the ssh client and connection. * Side note: you can also SSH into your own Mac this way if you juts want to try this out, but there is little point to that since launching Terminal in and of itself grants you direct shell access to the computer to begin with. But, it does offer a means of experimenting with SSH connections if you have never done so before, just use your username localhost or 127.0.0.1 for the IP.īy the way if you want to allow someone else to remotely SSH into YOUR Mac, you’d need to setup the native SSH server on your Mac (easy as described here) and then you’d want to add a new user account to the Mac for that person, never share your own login and password with anyone else.
