SSH2 provides bindings to libssh2 library which provide access to resources (remote exec, shell, file transfer, tunneling) on a remote machine using a secure cryptographic transport. SSH2 is a more efficient, secure, & portable version of SSH that includes SFTP, which functions similar to FTP, but has SSH2 encryption enabled. It works on port 22 instead of 21.<\/p>\n

You can validate multiple identities via public key encryption instead of using passwords to authenticate remote hosts.<\/p>\n

Installation of SSH2 is very simple and requires not more than 2 commands on a linux distro.
\n
\n# yum install libssh2-devel
\n# pecl install -f ssh2
