Installing openssh on Fedora

by globaletraining.com, posted in Linux

SSH is not installed on Fedora, by default. You will have to install the SSH server.

OpenSSH is a open source SSH server that is free, and is widely used in the industry.

Installing OPENSSH

# sudo yum install openssh-server

Starting SSH

# sudo systemctl start sshd

Stopping SSH

# sudo systemctl stop sshd

SSH Server runs at port 22 by default. Checking port 22

# netstat -ant | grep 22
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN 
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN

Now that you have the SSH Server installed, you should be able to SSH into this fedora machine from any other machine using any ssh client.
