Have you ever wished you could remotely access your server’s admin console without having to setup a complex remote access system? Now you can with SSHD.
SSHD securely exposes your bukkit admin console using the SSH protocol – the same protocol that serves as the secure foundation for nearly all remote server administration.
- Compatible with all ssh clients, regardless of operating system.
- Remotely view your server log in real-time.
- Remotely issue commands from the server console, just as if you were on the server itself.
- Supports multiple concurrent remote connections.
- Strong identity support using public key authentication.
- Remotely script your server by issuing one-off console commands with ssh.
Why should I use SSHD?
- Your server runs on Windows.
- You are in a shared hosting environment that only gives you access to the log files.
- You want to share access to your server console, but don’t want to give anybody access to the machine its running on.
- You always wanted to use RCON, but want to see the server log as well.
- You are tired of running your server in a Screen session.
- You just want to access your server console using SSH.
Configuration
- listenAddress – The network interface(s) SSHD should listen on. Default all
- port – Specify the port SSHD should listen on. Default 22
- username/password – The credentials used to log into the server console. Default blank
Note: By default, only public key authentication is enabled. This is the most secure authentication mode! Setting a username and password will make your server less secure.
Commands
None – just install and go.
Permissions
None – SSHD uses cryptographic certificates or a secure username and password to verify remote access.
