Your on Mac OSx then?
(I couldn't very well tell from your post that you are on Mac OSx - hence the extra work for us both.)

What you downloaded is a graphical client that might come in useful later - for more advanced things that what is needed at the moment.

If your on Mac OSx (a BSD based OS) you should already have, as part of the standard system install, the ssh client of OpenSSH (a BSD based program).

Just open a terminal window and give it a try.
Expect something like this:
Code:
core2quad ~ $ ssh
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
           [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
           [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
           [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
           [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
           [-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]
           [user@]hostname [command]
Note: "mac_spec" refers to the MAC address of the nic, not something about your machine.

I think that Mac OSx (like every other full *nix in the world) has the man(ual) documents installed.
Now try:
man ssh
