The well known <b>SSH</b> (<i><b>S</b>ecure <a is very frequently adopted by system administrators for establishing safe connections to remote servers.<br>
SSH automatically encrypts all the traffic between the local PC and the remote server by using strong cryptograhic ciphers, thus allowing for very secure connections over the intrinsically insecure Internet.<br><br>
