mark52230 Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I was going to use telnet but found out that was insecure so I'm giving ssh a go.. But when I try logging into the other machine it automatically presumes my username on the other machine will be the same as the username I am currently logged in as. Can I change this so I can log into the other machine as a different user? Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastian@morsony.dk Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 I guess your on linux, so use ssh --help to se what command lines are supported. ssh -l username Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastian@morsony.dk Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Of course you have to define a hostname to connect to. ssh -l username hostname.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
