1.

Where can I get some information related to SSH Secure Shell ?

There is a nice little howto about using SSH.

2.

How can I login via SSH without passwords ?

SSH login with key instead of password

As user:

cd ~/.ssh
ssh-keygen -d
    

hit enter when it prompts you for file name

cat id_dsa.pub > authorized_keys
    

Then, connect up via ssh, and it will copy your public key to the remote directory and no more prompt for the password. This worked in 8.0.

3.

Is their an SSH client like WinSCP for suse 8

Install the kio_fish pkg and then open up Konqueror. Now type this in the location bar:

fish://username@domain:22
      

This will act just like WinSCP. :)
