Management tools documentation provides access to RouterOS administration interfaces and utilities including WinBox, WebFig, SSH, RoMON, Dude, Quick Set, FlashFig, branding options, and mobile apps for device management and customization.
RouterOS includes a built-in SSH server and client. The server is customizable (ciphers, key types, forwarding, password and public-key authentication) and its host key can be exported, imported and regenerated. The client (ssh and ssh-exec) verifies remote host keys against stored known hosts.
Protect an internet-facing SSH service on RouterOS with firewall rules that count new connections per source address and block a source that opens too many in a short time. Covers what to do before exposing SSH, placing the rules in the default firewall, exempting trusted addresses, IPv6, checking and unblocking, and how many password guesses the rules still allow.
SSHFS allows mounting a folder from a remote SSH server as a local disk in RouterOS, using the sshfs type of /disk. The mount is configured with the remote address, user credentials, and path, and appears in /file like other network filesystems.
