Paper Abstract:	Given the technological advances related to Telemedicine and eHealth together with the increase of cyber attacks on the internet, we can consider that studies are necessary to improve secure transmission of medical images. This paper offers a new vision about the viability of secure transmission of medical images considering the average transmission rate and the total time of transmission by SSH tunneling compared to transmission by HTTP request in a computer network. Moreover, we developed a desktop application with Java and bash scripts that enables the transmission of medical images by SSH tunneling. In accordance with statistical analysis using test t there isn’t significant difference (p>0.05) when we compare the total time of transmission by SSH tunneling with the total time of transmission by HTTP request, in the same way there isn’t significant difference (p>0.05) when we compare the average transmission rates by SSH tunneling with the average transmission rates by HTTP request. Finally, the use of SSH Tunneling is highly recommendable because there isn’t significant difference in the comparison of HTTP request and SSH Tunneling performances. And other important point is that the SSH tunneling can provide a secure way with a level of encryption on point to point between client and server.
