SSH mean Secure SHell. It is a method of connecting to a remote computer and running programs and commands on that computer as if you were sitting infront of that computer. You need SSH client and access information to server. Simple SSH client is putty. You can Download PuTTY here.
There comes many times when you need to get SSH access, such as installing scripts. However, if you don't have SSH access or you don't know nothing about it, learn it - or ask your host to do job for you. Learning-by-trying commands in virtual hosting plan is a very bad idea! You may mess whole server. If you need only to copy some files to server, use FTP client instead of SSH. It's far more simplier to use.
Commands are different than in Windows so better read than try.
| cat cd cp kill ls man mkdir pwd rm rmdir vi |
