SSH is a secure encrypted method of remotely managing servers (or web hosting accounts). SSH is a replacement for the older insecure protocols such as ftp, rlogin and telnet. SSH access is available to Virtual Private Server (VPS) and Dedicated Server customers. (http://www.openssh.org)

TurnKey Internet highly recommends SCP for windows users, it is the fastest most secure way to send and receive files to your Virtual Private Server of Dedicated Server (even faster than FTP). You can also use PuTTY: (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/), and SecureCRT: (http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt).
