Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol used to remotely access the Linux shell (that is something similar to the MS/DOS prompt of the Windows users) to launch programs or do anything else on your CORE9G25 board.

Get access from a Windows PC (XP,Vista or Win 7)

To remotely access the CORE9G25 Board command line (shell) from a Windows PC it is available for free a very light application called putty.exe and freely downloadable from the PuTTY Download Page. It doesn't need to be installed, just download and run it.

At startup you have to specify:

• Host name: board_ip_address
• Connection type: SSH

Save this configuration and press the Open button to continue.

As shown on the image above, do specify the board IP address, select the SSH connection type and click on Open button.

The CORE9G25 board will show its prompt and the request for login:

Type:

Login: root
Password: root

The debian GNU/Linux welcome message and debarm:~# command line prompt will appear.

The board is now ready to execute your commands:

Try to type:

debarm:~# pwd 
/root

to know were you are in the CORE9G25 board filesystem then move to the root (/) and get a list of files and folders:

debarm:~# cd /
debarm:~# ls 
debarm:/# ls
bin   dev  home  lost+found  mnt  proc   root  selinux  stage2  tmp  var
boot  etc  lib   media       opt  sbin  srv sys usr

Get access from a Linux Ubuntu PC

On a Linux Ubuntu GNU desktop open a new terminal session selecting the the menu Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal then type:

$ ssh root@192.168.1.28

Where 192.168.1.28 has to be replaced with the IP address of your board (Discover the IP address assigned by DHCP).

At first login a security message will appear. Confirm it typing yes.
