This project focuses on Secure Shell (SSH), a protocol used to securely connect to remote systems over a network. SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network by using a client-server architecture. This project covers the basics of SSH, including creating and using SSH keys, configuring SSH clients, and understanding the advantages of using SSH.
