quick question about remote ssh

I'm wondering if editing remote files via ssh is 100% safe on public networks. I use some software called phpDesigner wi开发者_JAVA百科th has remote ssh editing capabilities built in so I'm wondering if I'm in a coffee shop for with public wifi if connecting over ssh is safe for me there.

Well yes, the connection will be encrypted. But unless you are using your own computer, you may be leaving traces on the computer in the coffee shop.

The traffic will be encrypted so username and password will not be visible, but you should only accept connections using public key certificates since this is more secure than just a password.

Here is an example of how to set this up from a mac to an ubuntu server.
