It’s time for your first command line experience!
In this lab, we will use SSH to connect to a remote server, log in, and run a few commands. The purpose of this lab is to help you become familiar with and comfortable using the command line to connect to a remote Linux host.
This is something you’re going to be doing often as you work with Linux, so let’s practice!
