An SSH private key file is a type of file used to authenticate a secure shell (SSH) connection to a remote computer or server. It is used in place of a password to establish a secure connection between two systems. The private key is generated on the client side and kept secret. The corresponding public key is stored on the remote server and is used to encrypt data sent back and forth between the two systems.
