title: Bash ssh (Secure SHell)
|

## Bash command: ssh
|
|
|
|
**Used to securly connect to a remote server** using Diffie-Hellman algorythm for key exchange, ssh replaces the archaic telnet program for remote shell sessions.
|
|
|
|
for example `ssh 192.0.2.1` will try to establish a connection with that host. The
|
|
address of the remote computer can be provided using an IP address resolvable hostname or FQDN.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use a different username then the one initiating the session (i.e. you're using ssh from root but wish to log in as different user to a remote system), the form `ssh username@remote_address` can be used, which will then prompt for the user password on successful connection.
|
|
|
|
Basic usage arguments:
|
|
- `-p` - use a different port then configured in ssh_config file (usually 22)
|
|
- `-u` - pass username outside of hostname URI
|
|
- `-i` - use a different location for private key
