That's really smart thinking, but listen to the guy. Who wants illegal stuff crashing your Mac? And SSH is an interesting name for a-uh-illegal thing?

What do you mean illegal? SSH is perfectly legal and has been a part of OSX since the beginning.

SSH is the secure shell. It's what you're enabling when you turn on "Remote Login" in System Preferences > Sharing.

It's essentially a more secure version of Telnet, if you're familiar with that, and also provides scp/sftp (secure copy and secure FTP) services. You can use them from the command line, or from GUI applications like Fugu.
