Xshell connecting to a local Ubuntu virtual machine

After the VMware Workstation is installed on the local virtual machine, it is inconvenient to knock commands directly on the virtual machine.

At this point we need a remote command tool to manage the virtual machine, which is recommended using the Xshell remote command-line tool

1. Download tool

Download the installation directly and choose the non-commercial version, which is free to use.

2. Installing Xshell

So the installation is complete, this is simple.

Next we have to let him connect to our virtual machine and Notice the critical moment is up.

1. I install the Ubuntu16.04 version here, the virtual machine installation will not say. This is what it looks like after installation.

Do not ask why I choose the graphical interface, if you do not like that you can put the mouse focus to the virtual machine, press CTRL+ALT+F2

Yes, this is the command-line mode.

We continue to ...

There are two prerequisites for Xshell linking a virtual machine (I may not say so, of course)

1.360 security guard, 360 antivirus, rising and so on, a bunch of anti-virus software must be all shut down, do not ask me why. ( If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, turn it off )

2. The firewall of the native firewall and the virtual machine must be turned off ( this machine has to be turned off )

Let's take a look at the commands on the Ubuntu firewall.

---view status

sudo UFW status

---off

sudo ufw disable

---Open

sudo UFW enable

I default your upper steps are gone ah, then next to set up the Ubuntu system related operations

1. See if SSH is installed

---view

SSH localhost

Of course there is a way to go to/etc/ssh/to see a look is also possible.

If the Execute command is not installed

---installation

Apt-get installl Openssh-server

After the installation is complete, let's check

cd/etc/ssh/

The result of success is this.

Watch out, watch out, it's not over yet. The most critical place in the sshd_config.

Open sshd_config file using vim

If you do not install vim with the following command to install, of course, you use VI modification is no problem. It is important to note that no matter what the editor you must first get root permission (),

The command to install Vim is as follows

Apt-get Install Vim

Enter command to edit after successful installation

Vim Sshd_config

If there's no problem, it should be. Feedback like this

Then find permitrootlogin change to Yes , save exit

Next, check the virtual machine IP address.

Ifconfig

This is the IP address of the virtual machine

Ok so the virtual machine is set up over here.

Go back to VMware Workstation set up the network connection mode, NAT mode does not move, directly determine the good ~

We're going to look for Xshell with IP.

1. Open the software and click New

2. Set the name, host

3. OK, click Connect, enter the login name "Remember user name" (for example: root)

4. Enter password-click OK

5. Successful Connection

Conclusion:

So far, our Xshell. Remote connection to the local VMware virtual machine is successful, you can knock commands locally,

About the connection way this piece, also has the bridge the way can choose. If you are interested, try it out.
