SSH (secure shell) allows you secure shell access to a server from a client across any network (local or Internet) with the comfort in knowing that your information is secure (even your password used to log in). Everything that travels across a SSH connection is encrypted. Typically you'd use SSH for executing terminal commands at the server (restarting HTTP servers or managing your MySQL server for example) but it also supports port forwarding, tunneling and even file transfers.

I don't know how useful it really is, but I have a little method of grabbing videos from sites like Youtube, or any page with an embedded video, converting it to a Quicktime format and importing it into iTunes. This, of course, makes it so ultimatly I could copy it to an iPod for portable viewing.
