How to connect local machine with the virtual machine using SSH on linux
Hello, I’m Badhon. I tend to forget things easily, which is why I started this blog.
Installing SSH
First you have to install SSH. So run the following commands.
sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade -y; sudo apt install openssh-server
Enable and run the SSH server
After installing the SSH server enable and run it using the following command.
sudo systemctl enable ssh --now
It will produce this type of output.
Check IP and run server
After running the SSH server, check the IP of the VM using ifconfig .
For me it is 192.168.122.137
After that copy the ip address and use it in the following command and paste it on the local machine.
ssh username_of_vm@ip_of_vm
In my case it would be ssh kali@192.168.122.137
After executing this command, it would ask Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
Type yes then you will see password prompt, here provide the password of the VM(if you have set any).
Congratulations, now you have successfully connected with the VM from your local machine. You will something like this. For verification run ls or mkdir command.
