Secure Shell (SSH)

Secure Shell (SSH) is an encrypted network protocol used to enable secure remote connections between two computer systems. In the Linux and Mac environment, SSH is frequently used to allow administrators to connect to their systems remotely and perform administrative tasks without requiring a physical presence on site. This protocol is safe, because all the data transmitted between the two systems is encrypted, which makes it impossible to intercept or manipulate them by unauthorized third parties. In addition, SSH offers a series of advanced functions, such as file transfer via SCP (Secure Copy) or SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol).
