I think that ssh (The Secure Shell) is the only real alternative. There are other methods of course, but are they as compatible? Are they as secure? Are they as efficient?

If you learn The Secure Shell you will be able to use other programs that utilize it as a back end, like Emacs' tramp for example.

ssh is easy to use and can be combined with other programs as well as ecapsulated in a shell script. ssh is a modern, strongly encrypted program that will protect your data.
