System administrators and developers frequently connect to Linux servers via SSH (Secure Shell). This method can be automated using a Bash script, saving time and reducing repetitive effort. In this tutorial, we will download and execute a basic Bash script to connect to a Linux server.
Here are the steps to follow:
1. Download and install Git Bash
If you don't have Git Bash already installed on your system, then you can download the application by clicking https://git-scm.com/downloads
2. Go to Azure Portal to complete the following tasks:
[i] search and open Virtual Machine on the search bar
[ii] Create and Select the Azure VM
[iii] Create new Resource Group, give the VM name on Region choose any one from the options.
[iv] On the Image Select Ubuntu Server, on Authentication type select SSH public key
[v] Give a username on Select inbound ports thick: HTTP (80) and SSH (22) then Review + Create.
[vi] Validation passed! then select Create
[vi] Download Private key and Create resource, then return to create VM
[vii] Go to Resource
[viii] Copy the ip address and open the ip
[vix] Extend the Idle Timeout to 30, Save and exit
[x] Open your Git Bash or Power Shell. I will launch our Git Bash and run the script by typing this command below to connect to our Linux Server but ensure the downloaded key is on Downloads Directory.
At last, we have successfully logged into our server.
I hope this helps! Thanks; see you later.
