Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol used to securely access and manage remote computers and servers over an unsecured network, commonly used by system administrators, developers, and DevOps engineers. It provides encrypted communication for remote command-line login, file transfers (via SCP or SFTP), and tunneling other network protocols, replacing older insecure methods like Telnet. SSH keys are also widely used for authenticating with services like GitHub and cloud infrastructure providers.
