The '''remote shell''' ('''rsh''') is a [[command-line interface|command-line]] [[computer program]] that can execute [[Command-line interface|shell command]]s as another [[User (computing)|user]], and on another computer across a [[computer network]].

The remote system to which ''rsh'' connects runs the ''rsh'' [[Daemon (computing)|daemon]] (rshd). The daemon typically uses the [[Well-known ports|well-known]] [[Transmission Control Protocol]] (TCP) [[Port (computer networking)|port number]] 513.
