How do I SSH to a VirtualBox guest from outside the host?

Jordan

I have an Ubuntu VM running on my Windows 7 computer. How can I set it up so that the web server can be accessed from outside via SSH?

I found some steps ( setting up SSH access between the VirtualBox host and the guest VM ) to ssh the guest from the host to the guest, but still have issues accessing it through the router.

I think I could install an SSH server on a Windows machine and then tunnel a few times (although I'm not 100% sure what to use locally, dynamically, etc, or how to set up multiple tunnels?), but is there a way A way to get my router to directly access that VM so I can port directly to it?

The best way to log into a guest Linux VirtualBox VM is port forwarding . You should already have an interface using NAT by default . Then go to network settings and click the port forwarding button. Add a new rule . As the rule name, insert "ssh". As "Host Port", insert 3022. As "Guest Port", insert 22. All other content of the rule can be left blank.

or from the command line

VBoxManage modifyvm myserver --natpf1 "ssh,tcp,,3022,,22"

where "myserver" is the name of the VM created. Check the added rules:

VBoxManage showvminfo myserver | grep 'Rule'

that's it! Make sure you don't forget to install the SSH server in the VM :

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

To connect to the guest VM via SSH, enter:

ssh -p 3022 [email protected]

userwhere is the username in the VM .
