OPEN SSH

What is ? OpenSSH  is a free open source set of computer tools used to provide secure and encrypted communication over a computer network by using the  ssh  protocol. Many people, new to computers and protocols, create a misconception about  OpenSSH , they think it is a protocol, but it is not, it is a set of computer programs that use the  ssh protocol . Why Open SSH ? The most important reason why should use  OpenSSH  tools over  ftp  and  telnet  is that all communications and user credentials using  OpenSSH  are encrypted, they are also protected from man in the middle attacks. If a third party tries to intercept your connection,  OpenSSH  detects it and informs you about that. Installation ?  sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client $ sudo ufw allow 22 Links : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring http://www.tecmint.com/install-openssh-server-in-linux/
