OpenSSH is a popular and secure suite of network connectivity tools used to remotely access another computer or server. The package includes tools such as SSH (Secure Shell), SCP (Secure Copy), and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol). In this tutorial, we’ll explore the steps involved in installing OpenSSH SFTP server on Clear Linux Latest.
Before you install OpenSSH SFTP server on Clear Linux Latest, you must first update the system using the following command:
swupd update
This command will update the system and ensure that all packages are up-to-date.
Once the system is up-to-date, you can proceed with the installation of OpenSSH SFTP server using the following command:
swupd bundle-add openssh
This command will install the OpenSSH SFTP server and all its dependencies.
After the installation is complete, you can verify whether the OpenSSH SFTP server is running using the following command:
ps -ef | grep sshd
This command will display a list of all running SSH daemons, including the SFTP server.
The OpenSSH SFTP server is already configured with the default settings, but you can modify these settings to suit your requirements. The configuration file is located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
To edit this file, you can use your preferred text editor to open it. For example, you can use the following command to open it with nano:
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Once you’ve made the necessary changes, save the file and restart the SFTP server using the following command:
systemctl restart sshd
Congratulations, you have successfully installed OpenSSH SFTP server on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use the SFTP protocol to securely transfer files between computers or servers.
