What exactly the term SSH(Secure Shell) means ?
In: 7
if you’ve ever seen one of those tools that you share your desktop with others, it’s basically that except with 2 terminals to type commands in, there’s also no middle man and it’s encrypted (like https or a vpn)
Typically it’s used by sysadmins to talk to a server directly instead of physically going to a building and logging in with a physical monitor.
When you think of SSH, don’t think “Secure shell” (even though it’s the proper acronym), think of “Securing *a* shell and sharing it remotely*. In other words, the person receiving my SSH request is responsible for responding to the input I provide, not necessarily SSH itself.
