How to enable SSH Server in Manjaro Linux?
Below I present how to enable and launch SSH service on Manjaro Linux, based on CinderCloud VPS, in a few simple steps:
1. Install OpenSSH (if needed)
[tuxfixer@manjaro ~]$ sudo pacman -S openssh Note: On fresh Manjaro installation OpenSSH service should be installed by default (OS release: 16.06 – as of writing this post).
2. Verify SSH Service status
[tuxfixer@manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl status sshd.serviceNote: OpenSSH service should be disabled by default.
3. Edit SSH Daemon config file (if needed)
[tuxfixer@manjaro ~]$ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config4. Enable and launch SSH Service
[tuxfixer@manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl enable sshd.service[tuxfixer@manjaro ~]$ sudo systemctl start sshd.service5. Test SSH connectivity
Try to connect to your Manjaro SSH Server from Client machine:
[tuxfixer@client ~]$ ssh tuxfixer@192.168.2.59
The authenticity of host '192.168.2.59 (192.168.2.59)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:W5Gem3BN7Dyhxm0qUMIQBV6ZI9HnJSYEVEKJtZ7clyg.
ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:24:ef:a5:07:af:29:0a:e2:20:14:f5:a5:f4:c2:05:38.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Thanks for the guide.
For some (as yet unknown) reason, the ssh service wasn’t running on a couple of my machines following some updates, on Manjaro KDE.
thanks
very helpful for a beginner
I keep forgetting how to do this stuff on Manjaro as I do it so rarely. Thanks!
When I start a SSH session to my Manjaro RPi4, SecureCRT comes back with this error below, when I’ve selected all available SSH keys.
Is there a ‘pacman’ way of installing a basic Key such as ‘Kerberos (Group Exchange) -or-diffe-heilman-group14 or similar that my SecureCRT client does have?
Sorry, I’m a newbie to Manjaro with XFCE desktop, but liking it more every day!!
Key exchange failed.
No compatible key exchange method. The server supports these methods: curve25519-sha256,curve25519-sha256@libssh.org,ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group16-sha512,diffie-hellman-group18-sha512,diffie-hellman-group14-sha256
In your secureCRT “option property” you can select your Key exchange options
