2.1. What is ssh?
To quote the README file:
Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program to log into another computer over a
network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files

secure communications over unsecure channels. It is intended as a
replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp.
Additionally, ssh provides secure X connections and secure forwarding
of arbitrary TCP connections.
