Using the built-in SSH client in Mac OS X

Mac OS X includes a command-line SSH client as part of the operating system. To use it, goto Finder, and selext Go -> Utilities from the top menu. Then look for Terminal. Terminal can be used to get a local terminal window, and also supports SSH connections to remote servers.

Apache Web server isn't bundled with an FTP server - you will either need to download the FTP module for it, or another FTP server, such as enabling the one included with OS X. By default, Apache hosts a web server on Port 80, but not an FTP server. I used this command to start the FTP server on Yosemite and since then upgraded to El Capitan + OS X Server. Now that I have a “real” FTP server, I wanted to disable the automatic startup of FTP.

Running SSH from the terminal command line

Once you have the terminal window open, you have two alternatives. The first approach is to type ssh hostname or ssh user@hostname into the terminal window. This is more familiar for Linux and Unix users who are used to using a command line.

Running SSH with a graphical user interface

The second option is to select New Remote Connection... from the Shell menu of Terminal. This opens a graphical dialog asking for the host to connect to and the user name. This also allows saving connections. This is recommended for users who are not accustomed to using a command line.

How to use PuTTY SSH keys with the built-in OpenSSH

If you have a PuTTY .ppk format private key and want to use it with the built-in OpenSSH on Mac on the command line or in scripts, you can use the following commands.

First, install PuTTY for Mac using brew install putty or port install putty (see below). This will also install the command-line version of puttygen, the PuTTY key generator tool.

Then, use the following command to convert the .ppk format private key to a standard PEM format private key:

Make sure permissions on the private key file are set properly. It should only be readable by the user that owns it.

You can now use the key for logins from scripts and command line with:
