SSH (Secure Shell)

Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that enables safe remote access to computers over a network. It encrypts data exchanged between a user’s device and a server, ensuring that sensitive information like passwords and commands remain confidential and protected from eavesdroppers. SSH is commonly used by IT professionals to manage servers, transfer files securely, and run commands remotely. Think of it as a secure, digital conversation channel that allows trusted users to control and communicate with computers over the internet without exposing private data.
