Common Questions & Explanations
What is SSH?
SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol for securely connecting to remote servers. It encrypts communication, allowing you to run commands on another machine safely. Learn more about SSH on Wikipedia.
What is a host and which port should I use?
- Host: The IP address or domain name of your server (e.g., 192.168.1.10 or example.com).
- Port: The network port used to connect via SSH. The default SSH port is 22.
- Many system administrators change the default SSH port to a non-standard number (like 2222 or 2202) to improve security by reducing automated attacks that target the default port 22.
- If you're unsure which port to use, check with your server administrator or hosting provider.
What are shell commands?
Shell commands are text-based instructions you run in the terminal to interact with your server, such as:
- ls → List files
- cd /path/to/folder → Change directory
- docker ps → Show running Docker containers
What is a regular expression (regex)?
