Secure Shell. It is a terminal application that allows you to control a whole computer as though you were sitting there. It works so well that you can even connect/manage over dial-up connections.

SSH is a spin-off of telnet since telnet sent everything in clear text mode. SSH actually encrypts the data first.

SSH, when connected, is equal to you loading a "terminal" window via your GUI.

Hmm, so it's the same exact protocol as telnet but just encrypts the data?
