Using key-based authentication improves security further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I exit an SSH session?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can type <code>exit<\/code> or press <code>Ctrl+D<\/code>. If frozen, type <code>~.<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use SSH on Windows?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Windows 10+ has a built-in SSH client, or you can use PuTTY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re new to Linux, chances are you&#8217;ll be using the SSH protocol to connect to remote servers&#8230; Top Basic Linux SSH Commands That You Should Know Top Basic Linux SSH Commands That You Should Know SSH (Secure Shell) is the backbone of remote server management.
