Linux SSH, WinSCP

What Is SSH?

SSH,  acronym for Secure SHell, was designed and created to provide the best security when accessing another computer remotely.

To use SSH on Windows, you have to download an SSH client.

One of the best and freely available clients is called PuTTY. PuTTY can be downloaded from this website. 

To connect to the computer, install ssh and enable it:

Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ssh

Using WinSCP to transfer files

One is SCP (Secure CoPy) and one is SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol). Under Windows, the best program to use for these is another program based on the implementation of PuTTY, called WinSCP. You can download WinSCP from http://www.winscp.net/
