SSH

Secure Shell (SSH) is not SSL. However, some implementation of SSH use SSL libraries.

SSH is a set of standards and protocols that allows establishing a secure channel between two computers. It is a secure replacement for rlogin, rsh, rcp, and rdist.

SSH is used to log into a remote machine and execute commands and also supports tunneling. It can also transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols.
