What is SSH and what can people do once they have access to it?

Now before you start sending me everywhere and deleting this topic... Please read...

Ok... I'm pretty new to this whole webhosting service and I have no Idea what SSH is and what it is used for.

I was trying to strike a deal with a couple of good Flash Programmers and Graphic Artist's when they asked me to have access through SSH... What does it stand for and what can a person do once they have access to it?

Can it turn my site into a malfunctioning site? Or is it a sort of FTP?

I'd really like to know because I don't want to activate it without knowing its power over my web hosting service...

Now if this question has been asked and answered before... Please submit a link to the thread so I may read it....

Many Thanks,


GuilmnX
