SSH Forever Relevant
Yes it looks silly, but I understand it like this, read more about it below
Introduction
Imagine a special treehouse where only your best friends are allowed to hang out. Just like this treehouse needs a way to know it’s really your friends climbing up, computers use something called Secure Shell (SSH) to make sure only the right people can access them from far away.
What is SSH?
SSH is like a secret handshake between computers. It creates a safe way for one computer to control another one over the internet, even if the internet connection isn’t very safe. It’s like having a magic key that lets you unlock your friend’s computer from anywhere online.
Encryption and Authentication:
Using SSH is like talking in a secret code that only your friend’s computer can understand. This keeps your messages safe from anyone who might try to listen in. It’s similar to sharing secret passwords before entering your special treehouse.
Public and Private Keys: SSH uses something called public-key cryptography. It’s like having two keys: one you share with everyone (the public key) and one you keep just for yourself (the private key). When you connect to a computer using SSH, it’s like proving you have the right key to unlock their door, all while keeping your key hidden.
Firewall Bypass:
SSH can even sneak past digital guards called firewalls, which check every message that goes through a network. It’s as if you have a secret tunnel that lets you sneak into your friend’s treehouse without being caught by the guards.
Create your linux server:
that you would like to connect to using ssh
After this, just type localhost in search bar:
If you see this that means you succesfully installed your local server, now you can access this html file “/var/www/html/index.html” and modify it as you want.
Conclusion:
In simple terms, SSH creates a safe path between two computers. It makes sure only the right people can get in from far away and keeps all the messages between them private. Just like the secret treehouse, SSH is a safe place for trusted friends to hang out and work together, without worrying about anyone spying on them or getting in without permission.
