Getting a bit more security minded. I have Googled SSH and searched

Nobody sends me anything via the web except emails of course. The only
FTP I use is the occasional transfer of a file from my desktop
computer to my website. I am wondering if there is any need to bother
with SSH.

Anyone have any comments etc please?

Is your computer a web server? Think of SSH as a secure remote command
line or secure FTP (SFTP). I can't live without it.
No, my computer is not a server.


I don't understand the question though. Are you asking if there is any
need to bother with using it or having it on your system?


Yes, I am asking if I need to bother with it.
