SSH and ScreenSharing..

[Mister9]

I'm a confused little boy.. I've just finally set up a VNC app on my new ipod touch so I can remote desktop to my computer from anywhere. However, I keep reading about this mysterious ssh and how dangerous it is not to use this elusive beast. But then when I look into it, everything seems to only log you in to the computer's terminal.. Can you have it both ways (ssh w/ screen sharing)?


As of now I have "Remote Login" checked along with "Remote Management" in my 'Sharing' preferences. I notice something about ssh in the Remote Login subsection but I haven't used the information given there and I still am able to login with no problems.

I just resolved two issues for other posters hoping the answer ferry would be good to me.. no such luck..
