SSH is basically a network protocol, which is used to remotely access and manage any device distantly. The chief difference between SSH and Telnet is that SSH makes use of encryption, which implies that the entire data transmitted over a network is secure from snooping. Telnet is not as secure though. Like Telnet, a user who wants to access a remote device must install an SSH client.
