How to Connect to SSH Server From Mac

Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol for securely connecting to a computer over a network. It is often used to remotely access servers, such as web servers or virtual private servers (VPS), or securely transfer files between computers.

This tutorial will teach you how to connect to an SSH server using macOS.

Step 1- Launch the macOS Terminal

SSH is a CLI interface. This means we must use the terminal to connect to the remote machine. On your local machine, open the terminal application.

By default, macOS comes with a terminal application called Terminal. You can search for the app by pressing CMD + Space to launch the macOS Spotlight. In the search box, search for Termina.app to open.
