SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol used to establish a secure connection between two computers or servers. SSH is primarily used to manage files on a server via the command line.
With SSH, you can perform the following actions and more:
- Securely transfer data between server and client (using SFTP or SCP)
- Edit files directly on the server
- Use version control tools (CVS, SVN, Hg, Git)
- Use the Drush tool for Drupal users
- Access MySQL/PostgreSQL via command line
