I don't see why sshd would automatically imply "not for desktop users". You 
just replied to someone who uses it on his desktop (to access his desktop from 
remote machines, which is not even far-fetched unless you work from home and 
never travel). As soon as you have at least 2 computers (e.g. one desktop and 
one laptop, which is fairly common), you'll come to appreciate SSH (and SFTP 
which comes with it - how else is a desktop user who also owns a laptop going 
to transfer his/her data between the 2 machines? Through the Internet? How's 
that good for security?).
