Secure Shell (ssh) is the replacement for rsh, rlogin, rcp, telnet, rexec, rcp and ftp. It encrypts all traffic, and provides various levels of authentication depending on your needs.
Telnet has security problems, so we've switched over to ssh for remote logins - simply put, you'll need to use an ssh-client application to login on our servers. The set-up is different for each client application, so please read the documentation for whichever one you choose, but in every case you'll need your login name and password (both were provided when you signed up for web space, and are the same as the login and password you use to upload web pages).
Once you've logged in you'll be able to use any bash commands you choose, such as the specific commands in our tutorials (like the password protection How-To). If you're interested in learning more about UN*X or Linux command line computing you could begin your reading at www.linux.com. Additional material for the beginning webmaster is available at Webmonkey.
