This course provides a practical introduction to Secure Shell (SSH), one of the most essential tools for IT professionals, developers, and system administrators. You will start by understanding what SSH is, why it is vital for secure communication, and how it protects sensitive data during remote access. Through clear explanations and demonstrations, you will gain a solid foundation in SSH fundamentals before moving on to hands-on exercises.

You will then learn how to generate SSH key pairs on various platforms including Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), PuTTYgen, Linux terminal, and standard command line tools. Each lesson walks you through step-by-step instructions to ensure you can confidently create and manage keys for secure authentication. By the end of the key pair generation section, you will be able to implement public-key authentication to replace insecure password-based logins, improving both security and efficiency.

Finally, you will apply your skills by establishing secure server connections with SSH, authenticating using your newly created keys, and troubleshooting common issues. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge and confidence to use SSH effectively for secure remote access, a skill that is indispensable for anyone working with servers, cloud platforms, or development environments.
