I use SSH all the time. Works great. Don't even have a monitor connected to my firewall.
I use Putty SSH client. You can get it here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
What you need to do is activate the SSH daemon in Astaro>
1. Go to: System>Settings>Secure Shell (SSH)
2. Enable SSH
3. You could leave 'allowed networks' to 'any' but this is not really secure. It'better to only allow your own subnet or better your own computer. Go to: Definitions>Networks to add your computer or subnet. If you define 1 host (your computer) as a 'network' you should use a subnet mask 255.255.255.255.
You can now connect to your Firewall from your PC. Enter the IP-address of your firewall in Putty, choose SSH as the protocol and click Ok.
Your username: loginuser
Password:
If you want to change to the root user do:
- su root and enter the correct password.
