Designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and command line enthusiasts, this course equips you with the essential skills to manage and transfer data securely across Linux systems. Through hands-on lessons, you’ll master the Secure Shell (SSH) for remote administration, streamline file transfers using SCP and rsync, and leverage SFTP for secure, interactive file management. Explore additional connectivity options, including SMB and GUI-based tools, and broaden your toolkit with powerful networking utilities like Wget, cURL, and Netperf. You’ll even set up a basic Apache web server and run real-world labs to test your new skills. By the end of this course, you’ll confidently connect, administer, and transfer files between hosts—whether on-premises or in the cloud—using industry-standard protocols and tools.

In this module you’ll focus on connecting between hosts using the command line. Remote connectivity is essential—you make network connections to remote systems all the time, and without remote connections and remote control, your job would be much more difficult. In this module, you’ll use Secure Shell (SSH) to remotely control another Linux system, and you’ll transfer files between systems using Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) and Rsync. You’ll also make connections and file transfers with SFTP and other networking protocols. Additionally, you’ll work with a variety of networking tools, including Wget, cURL, and Netperf, and you’ll set up a basic Apache web server.
