SSH Client vs VNC
Developers should learn and use SSH clients for securely administering remote Linux/Unix servers, cloud instances, and IoT devices, especially in DevOps, system administration, and backend development roles meets developers should learn vnc for remote debugging, accessing development environments on servers or embedded systems, and providing technical assistance to team members or clients. Here's our take.
SSH Client
Developers should learn and use SSH clients for securely administering remote Linux/Unix servers, cloud instances, and IoT devices, especially in DevOps, system administration, and backend development roles
SSH Client
Nice PickDevelopers should learn and use SSH clients for securely administering remote Linux/Unix servers, cloud instances, and IoT devices, especially in DevOps, system administration, and backend development roles
Pros
- +It is essential for tasks like deploying applications, troubleshooting production issues, and automating scripts via SSH, providing a critical security layer against eavesdropping and tampering compared to insecure protocols like Telnet
- +Related to: linux-command-line, network-security
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
VNC
Developers should learn VNC for remote debugging, accessing development environments on servers or embedded systems, and providing technical assistance to team members or clients
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where GUI access is needed on headless servers, for cross-platform testing, or when working with IoT devices that lack local displays
- +Related to: ssh, remote-desktop-protocol
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use SSH Client if: You want it is essential for tasks like deploying applications, troubleshooting production issues, and automating scripts via ssh, providing a critical security layer against eavesdropping and tampering compared to insecure protocols like telnet and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use VNC if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in scenarios where gui access is needed on headless servers, for cross-platform testing, or when working with iot devices that lack local displays over what SSH Client offers.
