Using Postgres Backup and Restore

[Alex Clay]

Hi Das,

First, you don't need the use sudo to initiate the ssh connection (unless you're doing something really crazy). Second, you'll want to ssh as your macOS user—not root.

Say your user is named "administrator". The command to connect would be:

> ssh administrator at 192.168.1.3

Authenticate with administrator's password.

Make sure remote access is enabled in the macOS Sharing preferences for administrator and you don't have any firewalls blocking ssh. The default port is 22.

Once you connect via ssh, you can run commands with elevated privileges using sudo. If you need to become the root user, use:

> sudo -s

But that is bad, bad practice and if find yourself reaching for "login as root" as a solution, I would re-examine what you're trying to do and see if there is a better solution.
