ssh_config is the SSH client configuration file (i.e. is used by the ssh program itself). sshd_config is the SSH daemon configuration file (i.e. is used by sshd).

Cheers

Hi ZB,
Thanks for your reply. I am writing 5 different sftp programs for 5 servers ( transferring different files from my server to 5 different servers ).
Since the Ciphers and other details may be different for different servers I am having 5 different ssh_config files.
What is the significance of sshd_config file here. can I have one for each ? or is this the file to be updated on the remote machine ?. Here also do I have to give Ciphers name ?

Sorry to ask too much questions

Regards
Shihab

As ZB said, the sshd_config file is for the sshd daemon only. Your program will refer only to the ssh_config file.

Ciphers may be separated by comma, e.g. "SHA-256, none, DES, blowfish, etc..."
