How does SSH (secure shell) work?

448 viewsOtherTechnology

I’ve done research and I’m not sure if got the idea correctly. Is SSH used to remotely access the computers with encryption? Is it like how TeamViewer (connecting a remote computer) works?

You’re right about the SSH protocol – it’s used to securely connect to other computers and operate on them as if you were using them directly, even over unsecured networks.

TeamViewer and other tools do not use SSH, however. They use proprietary protocols. This is mostly because SSH is designed with command-lines in mind, while TeamViewer allows you to see a Graphical interface.
