Make sure sshd is running on the target machine and that you have an ssh client on the local machine. There are many different ways to setup and use ssh. Besides simply a replacement for telnet you can use it to tunnel other applications in a secure way. Would need more information on what you want to do in order to recommend how to utilize ssh. The O'Reilly SSH book is a good resource for many of the finer details on using ssh. -- Scot L.
