Install Dropbear SSH server on Bionic64
Posted: Sun 31 May 2020, 01:15
To connect two Puppy Linux Bionic64's using a SSH remote session. Two packages will be used, the pUTTY-.0.73 client and a Dropbear SSH server. Also a small shell script that will create the keys.
For #1 Bionic64 the PET file for the Server component is here ->
https://rockedge.org/kernels/data/PET/B ... x86_64.pet
Download and install the PET file.
Create a shell script :
make_dropbear_keys.sh
run the script and in a terminal start dropbear
Now set up the client computer running the #2 Bionic64
Download and install ->
https://rockedge.org/kernels/data/PET/B ... _amd64.pet
The menu entry for pUTTY is under Menu->Network
Start putty from the menu or command line.
The following screenshots demonstrate a very simple configuration that will forward X11. Of course one could use Puppy Linux's built in SSH client just as well as pUTTY. Using Windows 10 (any Windows will work) pUTTY can be installed (putty is native to Windows and I compiled it for Linux)
Do not forget to set the root password on Bionic64 #1 (Dropbear server) or default is 'woofwoof'
This all a very basic set up and all the parameters can be adjusted as needed.
Wish you good bandwith !
