Secure Shell is a security program to log in to another computer over a network, to execute commands from a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. The program features authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. Secure Shell is a replacement for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rdist.
When using ssh slogin, nstead of rlogin, the entire log on session, including transmission of password, is encrypted; hence, for an outsider to collect passwords is almost impossible.
