"SSH is a program enabling secure access to remote filesystems. Not everyone is aware of other powerful SSH capabilities, such as passwordless login, automatic execution of commands on a remote system or even mounting a remote folder using SSH! In this article we'll cover these features and much more."

Numerous other apps can use SSH. I use svn for version control over ssh with password-less auth. Rsync is another big one -- excellent for transfering a whole website to the host securely. And, rsync only transfers modified files, which makes the whole process of updating a huge site secure and painless.
svn co svn+ssh://repo/module
svn commit # and svn commits over ssh tunnel
rsync -e ssh src [user@host:]dest
