What is SSH Server?

There are so many terms in network or computer field. Sometime, every term should be understood by us to master about computer and network. Knowing about terms about computer will make us easy to operate computer and network. Read the information below to know more about a term of computer and network field.

SSH Server

Have you ever heard about SSH server? In computer and network field, we may be so familiar with server. But, we may not be familiar with SSH. It is Secure Shell which is an application as substitution of login remote, almost same with Rsh and rlogin, and included into a network protocol. By using it, we can exchange data through safe channel between network devices. This network protocol often used on Linux operation system and the protocol created by Tatu Yiolen, a researcher of Helsinki University of Technology as substitution of unsecure shell remote to send information such as passwords in form of simple text. The main point is, it is used for exchanging information safely without worrying about unsecure network, such as internet.

What is the Function?

There is also function of it. The main function of it is for accessing machine using remote access that can be obtained as text and graphic mode. For example, SSH server of a client tries to access Linux server through SSH. SH daemon works well on Linux server and also SSH client.

Well, those are some information for you. Actually, there are still much information about terms of computer and network field. But we can conclude that SSH can be used as the provider for providing safe channel to exchange data. When using it, we don’t need to worry about privacy, because all privacy will be protected by it. Finally, hopefully the information above will be useful for you, especially for you who want to know more about computer network.
