ssh is a secured communications protocol that functions largely as a drop-in
replacement for telnet. You need the client program (ssh) to communicate to the
server program (sshd). 

The client program should work pretty much out of the box without any
additional configuration. Just connect to the server you want to work on with a
command like this:

   ssh -l <username> <server.name>

see man ssh for more details and more tricky things you can do. If ssh works,
scp will probably work, too. See man scp for more information.

The server program will require some configuration to make sure it's doing what
you want. On Mandrake Linux the configuration file is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Please see man sshd for details on this configuration information because it
can get complex.
