SSH is like telnet but encrypted.  There is an sftp that works over an ssh 
connection, but I personally prefer scp.  scp is secure copy and like rcp 
where the syntax is 'scp source dest' where source or dest can be 
user at host:/path/to/file  for example

$ scp source.c madhat.unspecific.com:src/

this would copy the file source.c form by current directory to the host 
madhat.unspecific.com using my logged in user to the directory ~/src
if I had a different user name, I could add the user@

ssh is just 'ssh host' and it will prompt for a password.  If it is a 
different user, you can use 'ssh user at host'

basic ideas...  as always it is recommended you read the man pages.
