SSH stands for 'Secure Shell' and provides users with a highly secure way to remotely connect to Linux/Unix based machines and issue commands. DCO allows SSH connections on all public servers to people with EECS accounts.
To open an SSH connection from a Linux machine, open a terminal windows and run the command '<user_name>@<host>.eecs.umich.edu'.
