Summary
Connecting to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) using SSH, or Secure Shell, is a secure and efficient way to manage and interact with the server remotely. SSH is a cryptographic network protocol that ensures a secure communication channel over an unsecured network. When connecting to a VPS using SSH, data, including login credentials and commands, is encrypted, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data interception.
