Basic SSH Commands Every Newbie Should Know

Well, these aren't exactly ssh-commands. These are just commands.

I was expecting ssh commands. Title is misleading.

Yes, totally misleading. How did this make it to HN's front?

They can't tell the difference between ssh and bash.

I can't say I feel any particular confidence in a company that would call these "ssh commands".

I had the same feeling, but I suppose the point is that it serves as a guide for people who have SSH access to a box / shared hosting setup somewhere but know absolutely nothing about the *nix shell or what it is they're sat in front of. I suppose in that case they'd Google "SSH commands" and come across this post.

Really though, a couple of paragraphs on the concept of the "shell" and how it relates to SSH and everything else probably wouldn't go amiss in a guide aimed at absolute beginners.
