Description
Infisical SSH lets you issue SSH credentials to clients to provide short-lived, secure SSH access to infrastructure. This command enables you to obtain SSH credentials used to access a remote host. We recommend using theconnect sub-command which handles the full workflow of issuing credentials and establishing an SSH connection in one step.
