I couldn't possibly get much easier than that!  Just install the debian
ssh package and you are good to go.  For file transer you can use the scp
command from the ssh package.  ssh even encrypts the X connections that
are piped through it.  You can pipe all kinds of connections through ssh
if you really want to get in to it...

So yeah, just install ssh.
