Good morning,
As of now midas is listening on a different ssh port if you want to
connect from home.
Before this was the default port 22 now it is: 6666
if you want to specify the port from commandline you can do it like
this:
ssh -p 6666 username@midas.fvms.ugent.be
scp works like this:
scp -P 6666 /some/dir username@midas.fvms.ugent.be:/tmp
For the lazy people, you can add this to an alias in .bashrc,
.bash_profile, .cshrc, ... so you don't have to type all this:
alias midas "ssh -p 6666 username@midas.fvms.ugent.be"
Windows users should look in their favourite ssh client for an option
where they can change the port.
Next monday we will close the port 22 on the firewall, so you've got a
few days to try it
out.
Connecting from the internal network to midas doesn't change.
There are hundreds of (failed) login attempts on midas on the ssh port.
That's because a lot of botnets scan networks for ssh connections on the
default
port 22, moving to a different non default port will solve this issue.
In case you where wondering why..
Enjoy,
Frederik
