SSH

Secure Shell

A network protocol used to securely connect to a remote computer or server. It is commonly used to remotely access and manage servers, as well as to securely transfer files between computers.

SSH uses encryption to secure the connection between the client (the computer you are using to connect) and the server. It also supports authentication, which means that only authorized users can access the server.

SSH is widely used by businesses and organizations to securely access and manage servers, as well as to remotely access and control other computers. It is supported by many operating systems, including Linux, Unix, and macOS, and is often used in conjunction with other protocols, such as SFTP and SCP, to provide secure remote access and file transfer capabilities.

In addition to its use for remote access and file transfer, SSH is also commonly used to securely tunnel network connections, such as for securely accessing a network resource from a remote location.
