Remotely accessing your Vector using SSH

You can install OpenSSH Server on your Vector to allow secure remote access via SSH.

To install OpenSSH Server:

1. Press Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard to open a terminal.

2. In the terminal, type:

   sudo apt -yqq update && sudo apt -yqq install openssh-server
   

   Then, press Enter on your keyboard to run the command.

   The command will install and configure OpenSSH Server.

Once OpenSSH Server is installed on your Vector, you can SSH into your Vector from other computers.

For example, to SSH into your Vector from another computer running Ubuntu:

1. Press Ctrl + Alt + T on the other computer’s keyboard to open a terminal.

2. In the terminal, type in the following command:

   ssh USERNAME@HOST
   

   Replace USERNAME with your username on your Vector. Replace HOST with your Vector’s IP address.

   Then, press Enter on the keyboard to run the command.

3. The first time you SSH into your Vector, you’ll see a warning similar to the following:

   The authenticity of host '192.168.122.181 (192.168.122.181)' can't be established.
   ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:atnhDBdkhdxpVgBhRXAnkrOBrQqshA65O/1toxafdTU.
   This key is not known by any other names
   Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
   

   Type yes, then press Enter.

   You’ll be prompted to enter your password. Type in your password, then press Enter.

   Note

   You won’t see masking characters such as * or • as you type in your password.

   You’re now remotely logged into your Vector.
