How To Run / Execute Command Using SSH

To run a command using SSH on a remote server, follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal or command prompt on your local machine.
  2. Type the following command:
    ssh username@remote_host command

    Replace username with your username on the remote server, remote_host with the hostname or IP address of the remote server, and command with the command you want to run.

    For example, if you want to run the ls command on the remote server, you would type:

    ssh username@remote_host ls
  3. If this is the first time you are connecting to the remote server, SSH will prompt you to add the remote server’s fingerprint to your local machine’s known_hosts file. Follow the prompts to add the fingerprint.
  4. SSH will then prompt you for your password on the remote server. Enter your password and press Enter.

    Note: If you have set up public key authentication, you will not need to enter a password.

  5. The command you specified will then be executed on the remote server, and the output will be displayed in your local terminal or command prompt.

Once you have completed these steps, you should be able to run commands on the remote server using SSH from your local machine.
