And grab a copy of the O'Reilly publishsers' book about SSH. It really walks
you through the details of it.
Short form: people used to use "rcp" and "rsh" for remote copying of files
and remote terminal access, but they were amazingly insecure. SSH was
written to provide really good, really secure terminal sessions and file
copy operations. Support for port forwarding, tunneling, X-Windows, Kerberos
key handling, etc. have all been integrated over time, but the real key is
secure terminal sessions and secure file copies across a network.
Does that make sense?
