SSH
Secure Shell or SSH is a both an application for remote administration of Unix-like servers and a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. SSH is typically used to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also supports tunneling, forwarding arbitrary TCP ports and X11 connections; it can transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols. Encryption provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote computer to authenticate the user, if necessary. An SSH server, by default, listens on the standard TCP port 22.
