Innocent bystander question... suppose Russell goes to China and needs 
to get some files from his box back home.  He (for the sake of my 
question) has lost his laptop, didn't bring it, etc. and the only 
accessible computer is a cyber-cafe with possible keystroke logger, etc.

Does the SSH technique prevent others from capturing passwords and such? 
  How does the idea work to keep outsiders out of his box back home?

Enquiring minds want to know...

Me: total newby minus one.
