To remotely connect to Linux using Xshell, ensure that openssh-server is installed and enabled, and enter openssh-server in the terminal

yum list installed | grep openssh-server
Copy the code

If no output is displayed, the installation is not complete

Run the following command to install the Openssh-server

 yum install openssh-server
Copy the code

Find the SSHD service configuration file sshd_config in /etc/ssh/ and open it with Vim editor

Then enable allow remote login:

Finally, turn on the use of username and password as connection authentication:

Save the exit

To enable the SSHD service, enter

service sshd start
Copy the code

Query the IP address of the Linux VM

Check whether the VM and host can ping each other. If no, configure the VM network. You can use Xshell on the host to remotely connect to VMS when they ping each other

2. Open Xshell to establish remote connection

1. Create a session in Xshell and write the IP address of the host to Linux.

2. The connection is successful
