Hi John, ssh is a secure way of communicating with a remote server. At the most basic level it is like having a terminal session on the remote computer, you can use commands such as "cd" to change directory, "ls" to view the contents of your current directory (same as "dir" in dos) "pwd" to print your current working directory location. "nano index.html" to edit the file called index.html in the current directory. You can also pass other things over the secure tunnel. If you use "sftp j...@remote.host.com" instead of "ssh j...@remote.host.com" then you get a secure ftp-like session where you can put and get files to and from the server. You can also do this graphically in Ubuntu by going to the places menu then connect to server and select ssh from the dropdown. Put in your details then you will be able to browse the remote server over the ssh session and do pretty much anything on it as if it were local.
