Description
Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol and the name of the program that implements it for remote command-line access.
You can use SSH to log in remotely to the department’s Linux workstations and to virtual machines in the Data Center. The SSH guide explains how to connect.
The OpenSSH client is built into Windows, macOS and Linux: open a terminal (PowerShell or Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on a Mac) and run ssh. Other clients also work, such as PuTTY, Cygwin and MobaXterm. Visual Studio Code can also connect over SSH with its Remote - SSH extension.
