Enable SSH

By default ssh access to SME Server is disabled. The preferred way to enable ssh access is via the server manager's remote access section. As an alternative (if you do not yet have server manager access via https) ssh access can also be enabled via the command line:

db configuration setprop sshd status enabled
db configuration setprop sshd PermitRootLogin yes
db configuration setprop sshd acccess public
db configuration setprop sshd PasswordAuthentication yes

and to reconfigure and restart ssh according to your new settings, followed by the command:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

The above commands can also be formated into 1 single command:

db configuration setprop sshd status enabled PermitRootLogin yes access public PasswordAuthentication yes

and to reconfigure and restart ssh according to your new settings, followed by the command:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

Allow ssh access in public or private mode : public= all networks (internet), private= only your local network

db configuration sshd access public
signal-event remoteaccess-update

ssh
