SSH stands for secure shell. Its a protocol that can be used to remotely access the shell of a given device or server. Some see SSH as the replacement for telnet because it offers the same functionality (and more) and is encrypted (secure) by default.

SSH is usually implemented by a service or daemon running on the device or server. In Linux its the sshd proces. Most SSH daemons can also handle file transfer and network tunneling.

Connecting usually using putty (search google) also commes with pscp (secure copy).

Connectionstring {optional}
Usernam@hostname.domain.tld{:port}

File copy using pscp
Username@hostname.domain.tld:/dest/path/filename
The -P switch can be used if a port other then tcp22 is being used

Good luck
