SSH stands for "secure shell". It allows you to securely access a shell (like the command line window you used earlier) on a remote machine. Luckily for us, OS X comes with an SSH client installed.

SSH instructions

Start a command prompt. You can review how to do this in the command line navigation section.
To create a secure shell on a remote machine, you run the command ssh <username>@<hostname>. You'll be prompted for the password for username on the remote host. After entering the password, a command prompt will be displayed, and voila -- you are logged in to a remote machine!
We have set up access to a Linux machine for you to play with. Here are the credentials for that machine:
```
Hostname: umd-workshop.openhatch.org
```
```
username: anyterp
```
```
password: terpterp
```
Using that account information, and using the command template "ssh <username>@<hostname>", try using ssh to log into umd-workshop.openhatch.org as username anyterp.
This remote machine is running Linux, which uses the same commands as OS X for navigating the filesystem. Play around with those commands on umd-workshop.openhatch.org.
