What is SSH?

SSH (Secure Shell) is a cryptographic network protocol used for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. It's commonly used for remote command-line login, remote command execution, and secure file transfer between two networked computers. It encrypts the data transmitted, preventing eavesdropping and tampering.
