Configuring the connection is also simple, users only need to fill in the IP address and related parameters of the target host to establish a connection. The powerful functions and ease of use of Mobaxterm make it the preferred remote connection tool for many users.

## 2.1 Introduction to SSH Protocol

Secure Shell (SSH) is an encrypted network protocol used to securely run network services over an insecure network. Its encrypted characteristics make the data in the communication process impossible to eavesdrop on. SSH protocol not only ensures the secure transmission of data but also prevents information leakage and network attacks.

#### 2.1.1 The role of SSH

The main role of the SSH protocol is to establish a secure connection between the remote host and the local host, allowing users to perform data transmission, remote login, file transfer, and other operations between different hosts, and all these operations are encrypted, ensuring the confidentiality of the data.

#### 2.1.2 The advantages of SSH

Compared with traditional protocols such as Telnet, SSH has higher security and can resist threats such as network eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. It also supports a variety of encryption algorithms, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of communication.

#### 2.1.3 The working principle of SSH

SSH adopts a client/server model and uses different encryption algorithms to encrypt and decrypt the communication data. During connection establishment, the SSH protocol negotiates the encryption method and session key between both parties through a key exchange protocol, and establishes a connection after verifying the identity. The entire process ensures the security of communication.

### 2.2 Configuring SSH Connection

Before using SSH to connect to a remote host, relevant configuration is required. The following will introduce how to create a new SSH session, configure connection parameters, and connect to a remote host.

#### 2.2.1 Creating a new SSH session

In the Mobaxterm tool, click on the "Session" option in the top menu, select the "SSH" protocol, enter the IP address and port number of the remote host, and click "OK" to create a new SSH session.

#### 2.2.2 Configuring SSH connection parameters

In the newly created SSH session, you can configure parameters such as username, authentication method, and key. Select an appropriate authentication method and key according to your needs to ensure the security of the connection.

#### 2.2.3 Connecting to a remote host

After configuration, click on the new SSH session on the "Session" interface, enter the password or key information in the pop-up window, and click "OK" to connect to the remote host. If everything is configured correctly, you can successfully connect to the target host.
