I think what you're really trying to find out is how to use the shell.
SSH and the shell are 2 different things, SSH is the method of
connecting into a shell over a network. To actually do stuff once you're
connected you use standard Linux/Unix commands such as ls, rm, mv, cp
etc. This is pretty good http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/basic.shtml 

For using SSH, it's a different set of commands. As I said SSH is just a
method of connecting. There are other things that have been added
alongside SSH such as SCP and SFTP, which are just ways of copying files
over SSH. Just google SSH tutorial for that.
