Using Remote Login, Copy, and Execution
This section describes some features for allowing users to use resources across a network. They are the telnet, ssh, lftp, and wget commands.
Cross-Reference
Only the ssh service is turned on by default in Fedora because the other remote login, execution, and copy commands described here do not provide encrypted communications by default, and therefore can represent significant security risks. For information on how to enable the services described in this chapter on a Fedora server, refer to Chapter 13.
This section includes descriptions of the text-based lftp and ncftp FTP clients, as well as the graphical gFTP. The ssh command is typically used as a secure remote login command, although it can be used for remote execution as well.
