SSH
From JumbaWiki
In computing, Secure Shell or SSH is a set of standards and an associated network protocol that allows establishing a secure channel between a local and a remote computer. It uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and (optionally) to allow the remote computer to authenticate the user. SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged between the two computers using encryption and message authentication codes. SSH is typically used to login to 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. You can access SSH on Jumba servers by connecting to port 2222.
To enable SSH on your hosting account, you must email support@jumba.com.au with your domain name, control panel login details and your billing password.
Common Uses
- You can use MySQL and mysqldump to backup and restore SQL databases.
- You can use zip , gzip, bzip2 and tar to create archives
- You can use unzip , gunzip, bunzip2 and tar to extract archives
- You can use FTP to log-in to FTP servers
- You can use SSH to establish a secure connection to another terminal
- You can use scp as a secure alternative to rcp, which can transfer files from one machine to another
- It can be used in combination with SFTP as a secure alternative to FTP which can be set up more easily on a small scale without a public key infrastructure and certificates
- Using just a normal ssh login on a server, the SSH filesystem can securely mount a directory on the server as a filesystem on the local computer (assuming the SSH filesystem is supported - many modern UNIX operating systems will support this).
