SSH (Secure Shell)

SSH is a tool that allows you to connect to and control another machine on a network.

In its most basic form the SSH allows access to the command prompt of another machine which is connected to a network.

To begin a SSH connection you would need the local IP address of the machine you would like to connect to.
