      My interpretation is a visualization of SSH as a transport protocol. You say hey SSH, send this message to this remote computer. And SSH goes to that computer and authenticates with a key, then enters your commands. In this case ‘ls’. Then ssh takes the output of that command, in this case the contents of the directory, and brings it back to you.
