Some common uses of the IBM i SSH daemon include:
- Remote system administration: System administrators can use the SSH daemon to remotely access and manage their IBM i system.
- Remote development: Developers can use the SSH daemon to remotely access and manage their IBM i system, and to transfer files and code.
- Secure file transfer: Users can use the SSH daemon to securely transfer files to and from their IBM i system.
