SSH Client Command Reference
Note: The SSH protocol is a complex protocol with many features. This Reference Manual only provides an overview
about some features, for detailed information beyond this manual please refer to publications such as SSH, the Secure
Shell, 2nd Edition by Daniel J. Barrett; Robert G. Byrnes; Richard E. Silverman (O'Reilly).
The SSH[OSS] Client is used for the following purposes:
• Start a SSH shell to control a remote system. A shell is an encrypted communication channel between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network which allows the client to control the server – similar to
TACL/TELNET in the NonStop™ environment.
• Execute a command on the remote system.
• Start a port forwarding daemon process. Port forwarding is a way to “tunnel” unencrypted protocols over an
SSH session so that they become encrypted.
Command-Line Reference
The SSH client allows you to specify some parameters on the command line. Starting the client without any parameters
provides a syntax summary:
