MacOS – Mac ssh terminal set echo on after connection

macmacos

I have a custom ssh server implemented. Where I have not handled echo, ie once a user connects and logins successfully using client lets say Putty he will not be able to see the characters he is typing in putty window.

In order to see the characters user has to go to change settings Terminal >> turn the local echo force on. Once user does this, he will be able to see what ever he is typing. In putty we can do this at any point after connection.

Now once I connect through Mac ssh client (Terminal) is it possible to change the settings like we have in putty after connecting to server?

Its possible when I try to connect, at the very beginning I just have to give a echo command, but can we do it in between like we do in putty?

Am a first time Mac user, generally work on Windows systems. Might be a very easy way, but have searched and dint find a way.

The easiest transition is probably to just install Putty for Mac. This way you'll be using the program you're already used to with the local echo functionality you want.

You can install Putty for Mac from Homebrew. First install HomeBrew, then run:

brew install putty

to install putty.

The ssh-add -K command add the key to the Apple's Keychain, but there is a SSH specific keychain, unrelated do the Apple's one.

It runs as a deamon and interacts only with SSH.

I don't know if this will help you, but I have strong feeling that it will.

Keychain is available as a homebrew package so if you get nomebrew available at your system to install it just type brew install keychan. After that a man keychain will help a lot.

MacOS – remote desktop to another user on the same machine

ARD into your "work account" and then do the following on the remote computer to open a Screen Sharing window to your "personal account" on the same remote computer.

Create an SSH tunnel. It works for me using 10.9.

Enable Remote Login (SSH) in System Preferences > Sharing, and in Terminal run:

ssh -NL 5901:localhost:5900 localhost

Finally, use Screen Sharing to connect to localhost:5901 (instead of the default port 5900). Instead of port 5901 you can use a much higher port that isn't in use by anything else.

The Screen Sharing application is located here: /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app
