I'm worried OP might be asking on the wrong platform to get any other response.
I mean, I'm a geek, and I can't think of anything else for those letters.
ssh bby its ok
Isn't it a company ?
And what is that ?
A shell (like a unix terminal) that gives you a secure way to do things, such as remotely logging in to another server, or executing commands remotely. With older programs like telnet, you had to login in the terminal passing your credentials without encryption. Secure Shell encrypts the stream to attempt to mitigate someone other than you from obtaining your credentials. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow it to authenticate the user, if necessary.
Port 22.
Me begging people to actually use ssh keys instead of password login
Secure Shell?
what’s the thing that comes to your mind when you see this combination of letters ?
That should post more on my blog (I use SSH to connect to the webserver and send the new HTML files)
PuTTY. It's been a while.
90% Secure shell, 10% the sound of a hush
Secure shell, the standard encrypted remote terminal, running on TCP port 22.
Solid state harddrive
That's nonsense. There is no 'H' in SSD. The 'hard' as in hard disk drive comes from the spinning disks inside being hard. In contrast to the floppy ones inside of a floppy disk... A solid state drive has no spinning disks at all. It's just computer chips if you open it. So we cross out any 'H' and 'F's. And you're left with the 'D'.
They asked what comes to mind. Nothing about accuracy. So I'm right and you're wrong.
Well, calling it nonsense was the first thing that came to my mind, so guess we're all "right" here?!
Nope. You will have to create a top level comment to try again.
Connecting to a remote machine in a terminal
My new favorite Linux command line shell: aSSHole.
