Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol for secure remote login and other
secure network services over an insecure network.

This document describes the SSH Connection Protocol.  It provides
interactive login sessions, remote execution of commands, forwarded
TCP/IP connections, and forwarded X11 connections.  All of these
channels are multiplexed into a single encrypted tunnel.

The SSH Connection Protocol has been designed to run on top of the
SSH transport layer and user authentication protocols.

This document is a product of the Secure Shell Working Group of the
IETF. 

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
