SSH with old systems - saprykin/plibsys GitHub Wiki

Many unsupported systems run outdated SSH stack, and one may need to specify explicitly some SSH parameters to connect from outside. This can be done in two ways. First way is to specify required parameters in the host config file ~/.ssh/config to allow using insecure cryptographic algorithms:

Host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
    Ciphers aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc
    User <username>
    PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa
    HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa

Alternatively, one can pass all arguments to ssh or scp command: -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss -c aes128-cbc.
