Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program used for logging onto a remote machine or for executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
Overview
- Create an SSH key pair
- Place key pair in appropriate place(s) for use with your system
