ssh

I only recently discovered the world of ssh.

• Ubuntu does not automatically install the ssh server, you need to sudo aptitude install openssh-server.
• Afterwards from a remote terminal type ssh _username_@_remote_machine_.
• To remotely copy files (like ftp), the command is scp _username_@_remote_machine_:_path_ .
• you can use scp -C for compression
• you can use ssh -X for remote desktop functionality

For more information, look here.
