This allows you to connect to your device over SSH. The SSH password (username 'root') can be found in the device 'About' screen. The device listens on port 2222.

So you can browse your phone from example your PC.

If you are using Windows you can use putty to connect to your phone. In linux you can install ssh, for ubuntu use this "sudo apt-get install ssh" this should do the trick.

you can use commando's like deleting System apps

the client is already installed in ubuntu by default, and probably all other distros out there. by installing the "ssh" package you also install the server. this shouldn't be done unless you know what you are doing, as it can open your system to the internet when configured insecure.

and yes, i know that ubuntu is a beginner-friendly distro, doesn't change anything if your username is "peter" with the password "peter"...

... with which you can also f**k up your phone's system. be careful when messing with system files.

Or get an easier solution..Get FTPserver from the market and use your FTP client (Filezilla is my favorite) to connect to it :)

FTP and SSH are not exactly the same B)

you don't use them for the same thing

you can do that if you want to copy files. ssh gives you *a bit* more than that, in fact copying files over ssh is more a sidedish than the real deal. ssh was made to provide a secure remote command line.

Odds are, if you don't know what SSH is, then you probably don't need it and can just use 'adb shell' instead.
