 ====== SSH Client and Server ====== ====== SSH Client and Server ======
 To login to any machine with SSH, you need to install the ssh server. The client is installed on Debian by default. Terminology used is "Server" for the remote machine to get access to, and "Host" for the local machine which needs access to a server. This guide was updated 8<sup>th</sup> August 2020. To login to any machine with SSH, you need to install the ssh server. The client is installed on Debian by default.

 +===== Access through Relais Hosts =====
 +I have machines in a location without fixed IP address, and where external access is only possible through a relais host.
 +  * Avoid SSH disconnects after inacitivity by adding the following to ''sshd_config'' of each machine which need to be accessed.<code>ClientAliveInterval 300
 +ClientAliveCountMax 2</code>
 +  * Alternatively, add the following lines to ''ssh_config'' of each client, or set the keep alive setting in PuTTY.<code>Host *
 +  ServerAliveInterval 300
 +  ServerAliveCountMax 2</code>
 +  * I have restricted SSH access to machines with known IP addresses, so find from where (relais machine) you connect through SSH<code>$ who</code>
 +  * Add or modify the restriction to your ''authorized_keys'' file<code>restrict,from="aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd,eee.fff/16"</code>
 +  * See [[deb10:backuppc|BackupPC]] how to setup a BackupPC host behind a relais host
