What is SSH?
SSH (secure shell) is a network protocol that lets you access files on your web server over the Internet using a command line interface (CLI).
Important: SSH gives you direct access to the files on the server. Take care not to modify files in a way that will cause problems for your server.
About public key encryption
Encryption is very important for keeping SSH communications private. Public key encryption is a method of communicating using a matching pair of keys (one public, one private) to create a secret code. This ensures that anyone looking at messages sent from or received by your computer will be unable to read them without access to the private key.
A private key is a string of characters that a computer uses to encode or decode encrypted messages. Keeping this key secret is integral to protecting your confidential information.
A public key is a string of characters that a computer uses to encode or decode encrypted messages it receives. Typically, a public key will be placed on a server so you can access that server with encryption.
Manage SSH keys
