SSH

SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol for secure remote login, command execution, and file transfer between computers over unsecured networks. It provides strong encryption, authentication, and data integrity, replacing insecure protocols like Telnet and rlogin. SSH is a fundamental tool for system administration, DevOps, and secure infrastructure access.
