    SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that can allow one computer to securely connect to another computer over an unsecured network. Just like the internet, having a shared agreement on how to communicate. SSH is an application layer<\/a> protocol (7th layer of the OSI model<\/a>). It is a useful tool as you can simply connect to it over the internet, no longer have to access another machine physically. Thus, it allows us to control servers remotely.<\/p>

    Furthermore, SSH was first appeared in the mid-90s and was designed as a replacement for Telnet <\/a>\u00a0Telnet is also an application layer protocol that transferred data without encryption. Without encryption, data travels over the internet will be in plain text. Anyone with a packet sniffer between you and the remote machine could see all the data you were transferring and basically everything you were doing.<\/p>

    Data transmitted in plain text can be seen by others. Encryption is one of the ways to hide a piece of data to make it unreadable unless you know how to decode or decrypt the data. SSH was created as a secure way of communication which encrypts data through a tunnel, so that bad actor cannot retrieve the data when transferring it. With SSH, you can still see that data is being transferred and how much of it is being transferred. However, you cannot see what the data is.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Besides, SSH is commonly implemented using the\u00a0client-server model. The computer is called the SSH client and another machine is the SSH server\u00a0or so-called host.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    • Download PuTTY <\/b>from the PuTTY website. Ensure that you comply with the license requirements.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>
      • Launch the client.<\/b><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        To configure your connection, use the following steps:<\/span><\/p>

        1. In the PuTTY Configuration window, <\/span>enter <\/b>the following values:<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
          • In the <\/span>Host Name <\/b>field, <\/span>enter<\/b> the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your Cloud Server.<\/span><\/li>
          • Ensure that the connection type is set to <\/span>SSH.<\/b><\/li>
          • (Optional) <\/b>In the <\/span>Saved Sessions <\/b>field, assign a name for this connection. The next time you use PuTTY, assigning one name saves time.
