Putty Help. Need to SSH into Crypto Rig

[Gk2011]

Long story short. Have to setup 4 rigs to mine cyrpto currency. Don't understand how to SSH into them. Trying to use Putty but all I can find on the net is how to setup keys which the other machine rejects. Have very little Networking experience. Can anyone help me with this?

connected all to a hub

hub -> your router

 

get their ips

set SSH password from default thing to something else (from the machines)

 

terminal: ssh [ip address] [username] [password]

or use putty

 

 

 

^{so many miners that dont know what the fuck they're doing lol}

Can the password only be changed on the Unit then? or is there a default local password I can use rather than carrying it all the way upstairs to hook it up to my locked down monitors?

You can change it once you're ssh'd in

what variant of Linux are you using? There should be a default password if SSH is enabled by default

I suppose you're running Linux on crypto rig, otherwise I can't help you

 

on crypto rig (ssh server):

1) make sure openssh-server is installed

2) check config file to see if your way of logging in isn't blocked, which shouldn't be the case for login with normal user and password ( i think it is /etc/ssh/sshd_config )

3) port 22 should be open by default, otherwise check firewall. You can set another port in config, but 22 is default

 

on pc (ssh client)

for linux:

1) open terminal

2) make sure openssh-client is installed

2) in terminal: ssh username@ipaddress

3) you will be asked for password which is just the password of username, no special password for ssh (nothing will change while typing, so you won't see dots or something like that)

for windows use PuTTY (never used it myself, but it will ask for username, ip and password, which are the same as in Linux client)

 

can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work if you did this, (always worked for me, had a lot of different setups)
