How to tail remote log file?

How do I setup ssh to tail a remote log file?

Hi,

There are several ways of configuration.

Please refer to the page 6 of the user manual for SSH:

Otherwise to tail remote files located on a Windows server I recommend to open a read only shared drive, then to tail them like local files.

Thanks for using in'side log

Is this the right way of ssh string at right place? I tried multiple ways, did not go thru. Can you help me with this....

ssh://<userName>@<hostname>:/<path>

Yes it is like the connection string you provided.

Please make sure the server is running an ssh server (sshd), and accepting login with the user you want to (root is not authorized by default on many distributions).

Finally check on the server side, the log files of the ssh server to identify a potential issue.
Thanks.
