dbclient: Connect and forward [A]gent connections to remote host.
$ dbclient -A ${user}@${host}
try on your machine
This command is used to establish a secure shell (SSH) connection to a remote server using the SSH client software called dbclient.
The command structure is as follows:
dbclient
: This is the name of the SSH client software.-A
: This option specifies that SSH agent forwarding should be enabled. SSH agent forwarding allows the user to use their local SSH key on the remote server, bypassing the need to enter a password.${user}@${host}
: This is the parameter that specifies the username and hostname (or IP address) of the remote server you want to connect to. The${user}
and${host}
are placeholder variables that need to be replaced with the actual values.
For example, if you want to connect to a remote server with the username "john" and IP address "192.168.0.100", the command would be: dbclient -A john@192.168.0.100
.
Note: The actual SSH client software may vary depending on the operating system. The command and its options may differ slightly between different SSH client implementations.
