You can think of ssh along the lines of telnet. You have a daemon (sshd)
running on every machine you wish to connect to. You then use the client
software (ssh) to connect to any machine that is running the daemon. Once
the sshd daemon is running on a machine you can use any ssh client to
connect to it. Examples include the software that came with the distro
(ssh, scp, etc) or for Windows Tera Term w/ the ssh extension.

Read the man page on ssh-keygen to see how to setup a key. Though the
system will work without keys for each individual user.
