Secure Shell or SSH is typically used to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also supports tunneling, forwarding arbitrary TCP ports and X11 connections; it can transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols.

SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote computer to authenticate the user, if necessary.
