The document discusses the SSH protocol which provides secure login and file transfer capabilities as a secure alternative to insecure protocols like telnet and FTP. It can be used to securely access remote systems, transfer files interactively or automatically, and issue remote commands. The document provides instructions for installing SSH, logging into remote systems using ssh username@hostname, and copying files securely between systems using scp.

On Windows, the most common tool to
perform a secure shell to a Linux server is putty. USES OF THE SSH PROTOCOL providing secure access for users and automated processes interactive and automated file transfers issuing remote commands managing network infrastructure and other mission-critical system components. Install SSH sudo apt-get install openssh-server How to Use SSH to Login to a Remote Computer In order to access a remote computer, you'll need to have an account on that machine. When OpenSSH is installed and your user created, login to the remote computer with this command: ssh username@hostname Username is the name of the user you created and hostname is the name of the computer (or host) or its IP address. So if you had a computer at home with an account called scms, from the command line you would Copying Files using SSH The secure copy command (scp) allows you to securely copy files to and from the remote box. The syntax is as follows: scp filename.extension remoteuser@remotebox:/directory Use -r for directories scp -r /local/directory remoteuser@remotebox:/remote/directory
