ssh (client)

Secure remote access with strict host key verification and known_hosts management.

Prerequisite Check

Run this before proposing remote access steps:

command -v ssh >/dev/null 2>&1 || ssh -V

If ssh is missing, surface that first and point to scripts/install.sh or scripts/install.ps1. Do not suggest insecure fallbacks such as disabling host verification or using plaintext remote shells.

Quick Start

1. Verify ssh is available: ssh -V or man ssh
2. Establish the command surface: man ssh or ssh -h
3. Start with connectivity check: ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new host
