A simple solution for this if you are port forwarding through your router is to set the inbound port to whatever you want and the local port to 22. Your machine will still be taking ssh connection on 22 like normal but to actually connect from outside your network you would use your inbound port.
- The SSH connection is used by the application to connect to the application server. With tunneling enabled, the application contacts to a port on the local host that the SSH client listens on. The SSH client then forwards the application over its encrypted tunnel to the server.
- Useful SSH Command Parameters-p – Use this if your SSH server is listening on a different port (other than 22). Example: ssh -p 4444 [email protected] – Compress traffic between client and server. Only useful on very slow connections-v – Verbose mode, outputs a lot more about what is going on. Can help you debug connection issues.

Note: this SSH client's encryption support is too old to connect to new versions of the OpenSSH server, and its File Transfer client does not support paths containing parentheses. PuTTY or WinSCP can be used as an alternative.

Ssh [email protected] By default, the command attempts to connect to an SSH server running on port 22, which is the default. However, you may need to connect to a server running on a different port. You do this by specifying a port with the -p switch. The OpenSSH SSH client supports SSH protocols 1 and 2. Protocol 2 is the default, with ssh falling back to protocol 1 if it detects protocol 2 is unsupported. These settings may be altered using the Protocol option in sshconfig(5), or enforced using the -1 and -2 options (see above).
The SSH Secure Shell Client provides secure Telnet and FTP service. Non-secure Telnet and FTP clients cannot be used.
Install Notes
- Download the file sshsecureshellclient-3.2.9.exe. Save it to an easily accessible place (your Windows desktop is a good choice).
- Start the installation by double-clicking on sshsecureshellclient-3.2.9.exe in Windows Explorer.
- When the installation is complete, double click on the Desktop Icon to start the program. NOTE: The installation places 2 SSH icons on your desktop (or location where you saved it). Double click the yellow folder titled SSH Secure File Transfer.
- Once you reach the SSH window click Quick Connect.
- Enter the host name (typically this is sftp.wm.edu).
- Enter your username.
- Port Number is 22.
- Authentication Method is Password.
- Click Connect.
- When prompted with pop up windows, click OK, then enter password.
- Your computer files are located on the left side of the SSH window and the William & Mary files are located on the right side of the window.

This section of Getting Started assumes that:
- You have recently installed Bitvise SSH Server.
- You have configured the SSH Server for access using SFTP, for Git access, or another purpose.
- You have installed Bitvise SSH Client on the computer from which you wish to connect.
- You wish to configure public key authentication between the SSH Server and Client.
Before you configure public key authentication, it is important to understand:
- Public keys, in the way they are commonly used in SSH, are not X.509 certificates.
- Client authentication keys are separate from server authentication keys (host keys).
- A keypair consists of a private key and a public key, which are separate.
- A private key should never be sent to another party. It is private.
If this is the first time you are using public keys, we recommend the page Public keys in SSH.
To use public key authentication, the client from which you are connecting needs to have a public/private keypair. To generate a keypair using Bitvise SSH Client, run the graphical SSH Client, and open the Client key manager:
Press the Generate button to generate a new keypair:
Guidelines:
- Unless required for compatibility reasons, do not generate a DSA keypair. Only 1024-bit DSA keys are interoperable in SSH, and this key size is no longer considered adequate when using the DSA algorithm. Generate either an ECDSA keypair, or an RSA keypair of size 2048 bits or larger.
- If you have saved a named SSH Client profile, the keypair generation interface will offer to store the keypair either in the profile, or globally.
- When the keypair is stored globally, it is stored in the Windows registry for the current user, under HKCUSoftwareBitviseKeypairs.
- It may be useful to store the keypair in a profile if the profile is going to be used on other computers, or by a job that runs as a different Windows account on the same computer. In SSH Client versions 7.xx and higher, the setting Sensitive information accessibility on the Login tab controls whether a keypair stored in the profile can be read by another Windows user, or on another computer.
- You can choose a passphrase with which to protect the keypair. If you enter a passphrase, you will need to provide it every time the keypair is used for authentication.
Before you can use public key authentication, the public key for the keypair you have generated must be configured in the SSH Server. If you are able to connect to the SSH Server using password authentication, you can connect to the server and upload the public key using the Client key manager:
If the SSH Server does not allow you to connect using password authentication, or does not allow you to upload the key, you will need to send the public key to the server administrator using an alternate method of communication. To do this, export the public key using the Client key manager:
For help with importing the public key into Bitvise SSH Server, check the Public Key Authentication section of our SSH Server Usage FAQ.
Once the public key has been uploaded or imported for your account in the SSH Server, configure the SSH Client to enable public key authentication on the Login tab:
Ssh Client Putty
You should now be able to connect to the SSH Server using your public key:
Ssh Client Mac
Save the profile to preserve this configuration.
