Live manage: SSH

Atera offers SSH (Secure Shell) support for Linux devices, allowing you to securely access and manage remote devices directly from within the Atera platform. 

SSH Features

Interactive terminal: Execute commands in real-time on your Linux servers and workstations. 

SSH Tunneling/forwarding: This allows users to securely connect to other devices on the same local network without requiring the Atera agent on those devices. 

Enhanced security: The SSH connection is established over a secure local networking port, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. 

How to access SSH for Linux

1. From Devices (on the sidebar), next to the Linux device, click Manage and then select SSH from the dropdown menu. 
Note: SSH access is available wherever the "Manage" menu is accessible for your Linux device.

The SSH window appears. 

2. Enter the credentials to establish the SSH connection. 

3. Once the connection has been established you can begin typing a command directly in the terminal or have the AI command generator create one for you. Learn more about the AI command generator
