What is SSH?
SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that provides a secure, encrypted channel for remotely accessing and managing devices over an unsecured network. It replaces older, insecure protocols like Telnet by encrypting all communication between the client and the server. Network engineers use SSH extensively to configure routers, switches, and servers from a remote location.
