SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. It is typically used to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also supports tunneling, forwarding TCP ports and X11 connections; it can transfer files using the associated SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP) or secure copy (SCP) protocols. Commonly used SSH commands include:
– ssh: Connect to a remote host using the SSH protocol.
– scp: Copy files securely between two hosts.
– sftp: Transfer files securely between two hosts.
– ssh-keygen: Generate secure authentication keys for SSH connections.
– ssh-copy-id: Copy public keys for authentication to a remote host.
– ssh-agent: Manage authentication keys for SSH connections.
– ssh-add: Add authentication keys for SSH connections.
– ssh-keyscan: Scan for SSH public keys on a remote host.
