Introduction

To be an effective web admin in Linux, you only have to:

• know how to log in
• move files around
• Understand basics of security and backup

Because everything is treated like a file in a computer system.

Logging In

• Use ssh
• Using a key is more secure, and allows you to log in without using a password. See how to create a key - [1]
• For example, when you set up an automated process, you want to use your key, not password?
