Solaris Secure Shell Commands
The following table summarizes the major Solaris Secure Shell commands.
Table 20-7 Commands in Solaris Secure Shell
Command |
Description |
Man Page |
|---|
ssh |
Logs a
user in to a remote machine and securely executes commands on a remote
machine. This command is the Solaris Secure Shell replacement for the rlogin
and rsh commands. The ssh command enables secure encrypted communications between two untrusted
hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also
be forwarded over the secure channel. |
ssh(1) |
sshd |
Is the daemon for Solaris Secure Shell. The
daemon listens for connections from clients and enables secure encrypted communications between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network. |
sshd(1M) |
ssh-add |
Adds RSA or DSA identities to the authentication
agent, ssh-agent. Identities are also called keys. |
ssh-add(1) |
ssh-agent |
Holds private keys that are used for
public key authentication. The ssh-agent program is started at the beginning of an X-session
or a login session. All other windows and other programs are
started as clients of the ssh-agent program. Through the use of environment variables, the
agent can be located and used for authentication when users use the ssh
command to log in to other systems. |
ssh-agent(1) |
ssh-keygen |
Generates and manages authentication keys for
Solaris Secure Shell. |
ssh-keygen(1) |
ssh-keyscan |
Gathers the public keys of a number of Solaris Secure
Shell hosts. Aids in building and verifying ssh_known_hosts files. |
ssh-keyscan(1) |
ssh-keysign |
Is used by the ssh
command to access the host keys on the local host. Generates the digital
signature that is required during host-based authentication with Solaris Secure Shell v2. The
command is invoked by the ssh command, not by the user. |
ssh-keysign(1M) |
scp |
Securely copies
files between hosts on a network over an encrypted ssh transport. Unlike
the rcp command, the scp command prompts for passwords or passphrases, if
password information is needed for authentication. |
scp(1) |
sftp |
Is an interactive file transfer program that is
similar to the ftp command. Unlike the ftp command, the sftp command performs
all operations over an encrypted ssh transport. The command connects, logs in to
the specified host name, and then enters interactive command mode. |
sftp(1) |
The following table lists the command options that override Solaris Secure Shell
keywords. The keywords are specified in the ssh_config and sshd_config files.
