ssh is included as server and client in all linux distribution. Under 
windows, you can use Putty to connect to an ssh server. Just google with 
"ssh windows client" to find what you're looking for.

Information you ask for are not purely RedHat related. This list is a 
good step for asking help but before, you have to check over the 
internet (Google is a good friend) and with the documentation coming 
with your distrib (man, docs , ...).

Always think that someone else surely had same questions that you so 
answer is somewhere. Auto learning is 200% more efficient than just 
copying ;-)
