SSH (Secure Shell)
In the domain of Linux networking, Secure Shell (SSH) holds a vital role. SSH is a cryptographic network protocol primarily used for secure data communication, remote command-line login, remote command execution, and other secure network services between two networked computers. Emphasizing confidentiality, integrity, and security of data during transmission, SSH offers a much safer method of remote access than its non-secure counterparts, such as Telnet.
Given its importance and widespread usage, a solid understanding of its functionality is essential for anyone looking to navigate Linux operating systems and manage networks efficiently.
Here is an example of using SSH to connect from your local machine to a remote server:
ssh username@server_ip_address
In the above command, username represents the remote user account name and server\_ip\_address is the IP address of the remote server you are trying to access. Once youve entered this command, youll be prompted to enter the password for the specified user’s account. After successful verification, you`ll be logged into the remote Linux server.
