Simple SSH server (Paramiko)

Minimal password-only SSH server for demos and local testing.

Quick start

1. cd /home/nohj/ssh-server
2. (optional) python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python3 server.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2222 --username demo --password demo

Connect from another terminal:

ssh demo@localhost -p 2222 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

Files

• server.py — Paramiko-based SSH server with a simple shell/exec handler.
• host_key — server host key (generated automatically on first run).
• requirements.txt — Python dependencies.

Notes

• Auth is a single username/password pair; no public keys.
• Commands run on the host where you start the server; do not expose to the public internet.
• Stop with Ctrl+C in the server terminal.
