SSH

Built-in SSH

ArcBox configures SSH access for every machine automatically. No manual key setup is needed.

arcbox ssh <machine-name>

This opens an SSH session using ArcBox's built-in key management. Keys are generated per-machine and stored locally.

Using Standard SSH

You can also connect with the standard ssh command. ArcBox registers machines in your SSH config:

ssh <machine-name>.arcbox

The hostname <machine-name>.arcbox resolves to the machine's internal IP address via ArcBox's DNS resolver.

Port Forwarding

SSH port forwarding works as expected:

ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 <machine-name>.arcbox

This forwards port 3000 from the machine to your Mac.

File Transfer

Use scp or rsync to move files between your Mac and a machine:

scp ./file.txt <machine-name>.arcbox:/home/user/
rsync -av ./project/ <machine-name>.arcbox:/home/user/project/
