Comments on Using secure shell (SSH) for login and secure copy (SCP) for data transfer on Linux

SSH stands for secure shell. It is an encrypted remote login protocol. Once it has been set up on each node, it can be used to communicate with various other nodes in that network. This tutorial covers public / private key authentication, the installation of public keys on remote servers and secure file transfers with SCP.

Isn't it simpler to use ssh-copy-id to copy the public key to a remote server?

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remotessh user@remote

Thanks for this useful post. I see nowadays many universities are encouraging students to use SFTP and SSH instead of FTP, which I think is a good practice. I'm curious what you think about Web RTC and if you think it will be widely implemented by individuals and companies.
