To: The Final Harvest
Well, it mainly is meaningful to folks who work in mixed environments, where Windows computers have to communicate with Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and a host of other operating systems.

See comment #3.

If all you ever do is run Office and a browser on Windows, you would never run into the situations where SSH is used.

But for decades, every operating system except Windows has had some form of SSH (or its predecessor, rsh) for communications.

The entire internet uses SSH for communications.

Except Windows.

It's been a major pain in the @$$ to all of us on the internet for decades.

And now, at last, it's being addressed.

Does that help?

Yes it does. I never have a need for this SSH .. so I won’t worry about it.

Thanks; I really appreciate it .. It’s great to learn something new every day.
