SSH (Secure Shell)
SSH (Secure Shell) is a security protocol that allows you to make a secure connection to a server that has the SSH and SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) protocols installed. Where FTP servers usually `listen' on port 21 for connection, SSH servers use port 22.
Where FTP attempts to make a connection with unencrypted channels, SSH encrypts all communications to and from the client and server. When an SSH connection is made, SFTP is the protocol that is used to perform all tasks on that single secure connection.
Many FTP and Telnet programs are configured to use SSH1 and SSH2 to protect data while in transit. Listed below are links for using our recommended client.
