It's worth noting that SSH ( Secure Shell ) is a widely used protocol for secure remote access and management of remote computers. Installing an SSH client on the Ubuntu operating system is an important task for many users. In this article, we'll cover how to install an SSH client on Ubuntu and provide examples of some popular SSH clients . For more information, check out the Astra Linux Tashkent courses.

Of course, there are several SSH client options available for Ubuntu users . Of course, the easiest way to choose the right one is to go through the Linux Tashkent operating system . However, in this article, we'll cover the most popular solutions for connecting via the Secure Shell protocol . Here are a few:
- OpenSSH client — is standard SSH client for Ubuntu by default. It provides extensive capabilities for secure connection to remote servers and execution of various commands. OpenSSH client included in the standard repository Ubuntu and can be installed using the command sudo apt install openssh-client.
- PuTTY - is popular SSH client, which can also be used on Ubuntu. It is worth noting that this client has a simple interface. And it supports not only SSH, but also other protocols such as telnet и SCP, if PuTTY is available for download from the official website of the project and can be installed on Ubuntu using the package *.deb.
- termius - it's powerful SSH client, which provides a wide range of functions for managing remote servers. It supports not only SSH, but also protocols telnet, Mosh и SFTP. It is worth noting that, similarly PuTTY, termius is available for download from the official website. And can be installed on Ubuntu using the package *.deb.
The most convenient option for each system administrator will likely depend on personal preference, as well as the nature of the project and the intended software usage conditions. In any case, we recommend taking the Tashkent System Administrator course to ensure you always make an informed choice rather than a random one in any such situation.
Example of installing SSH client on Ubuntu
Let's look at an example of installing the OpenSSH client on Ubuntu . Follow these steps:
- Open a command prompt terminal Ubuntu.
- Enter the following command to refresh the list of software packages available for download and installation - sudo apt update.
- Then enter the following command to install OpenSSH client sudo apt install openssh-client.
- During installation, you may be required to enter an administrator password.
- Once the installation is complete, you can run SSH clientby entering the command ssh in the terminal.
- To connect to a remote server using SSH enter the command in the following format - ssh username@remote_host.
Now let's figure out what a construction like ssh username@remote_host means . Here:
- username — your username on the remote server (not on the computer from which you wish to connect to it).
- remote_host IP Address remote server to which you wish to connect via protocol SSH.
To find out how to find the IP address of a computer running a GNU/Linux operating system, system administrator training in Tashkent will help you . It's worth noting that similar IT training in system administration in Uzbekistan is available online. For example, on the SEDICOMM University platform , under the guidance of the best Cisco instructors in Eastern Europe.
