Help:SSH
From MMAE
SSH, a.k.a. Secure Shell, is a replacement for telnet and ftp. The telnet and ftp protocols do not encrypt their data in any way and thus send all their data in plain-text, which can be relatively easy to look at for passwords and other sensitive data. SSH encrypts the packets so it is difficult for third parties to read the data. SSH is installed on most unix systems and there are a few windows clients as well.
The two recommended windows ssh clients are
- Putty (homepage)
- text terminal access and X11 tunneling only
- WinSCP (local mirror of 4.1.7)
- file transfer only

- OpenSSH
- OpenSSH home page
The unix ssh commands installed are:
- ssh
- run with ssh -l login hostname (-l is optional if login name is the same)
- scp
- run with scp files... user@remotehost:remotedirectory
For additional details, check the ssh man pages.
