SSH

About ssh

​

A secure protocol or something like that that probably has something to do with https in some way...

​

Address format:

​

ssh://someurl<optional>:port#</optional><optional>/full/filepath</optional>

​

Connecting to a server over ssh

​

The server should contain a file at /etc/ssh/sshd_config containing many relevant configuration settings. For example if it has:

PasswordAuthentication no

That means you can't ssh in with a password even if you can with ssh keys. This allows you to set passwords for user accounts without opening the server up to a simple way to access it with that username and password.
