What is ssh?

Ssh (Secure Shell) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over unsecure channels. It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp, but also replaces telnet.

Additionally, ssh provides secure X connections and secure forwarding of arbitrary TCP connections.
