Using SSH instead of FTP? please help

1

Hello everyone,
I have a small site I am doing and I just spoke to the programmer to get the FTP details. He told me that there is no FTP access and that you can only access the files by the use of SSH??

So I read all about SSH, downloaded PUTTY.EXE, but just couldnt quite understand it. What details do I need to get from the old programmer to access the server???

Is it the same info as FTP?

Cheers
