The ssh protocol is used throughout the Unix and Linux world as a way to securely transport commands and files between systems over a non-secure network. In addition to standard file and terminal functions, ssh can also be used to build secure tunnels through a network.
Since V5R3 ssh has been available for i5/OS as a no-charge LPO 5733-SC1.
In this session we will explain how to install and setup ssh, how to use ssh to move data around the network, how ssh can be used to communicate with the HMC and manage resources under program control.
