It has absolutely no advantages over SSH whatsoever. None at all. At
least, none that I'm aware of. That being said, it's always important to
have more than one way to access a remote machine which you can't
physically access without a lot of effort ;)
(And yeah, you can restrict it to SSL connections only, that's what I
set it to.)
