SSH gives you a command line interface to a remote machine which is, as the name suggests, secure. As in encrypted.

Way back in the day we used to use Telnet, which was the same thing but not encrypted. Anyone sitting at any of the nodes between you and the machine you were remoting into could watch what you were doing. SSH made a huge improvement by encrypting the traffic.
