How to SSH from my Debian desktop into a USB connected device

I have an external device (a new phone called the Gemini PDA) that runs LXQt and I need to connect to it through my desktop computer, which is running Ubuntu. I've been told that I can connect through SSH but this is something I've never done before. I see instructions for Windows that involves running software called Putty, so it makes me wonder if I need an analogous software. If not, then I have my device connected by USB to my desktop and a terminal open on both devices. From here, what can I do to use my desktop's keyboard to type into the terminal on my external device?

putty
exists in Ubuntu (packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=putty), though I'd just go to terminal and typessh 99.99.99.99
(where 99.99.99.99 is the ip address of device you want to connect to, or user@99.99.99.99 if you want/need a different userid than your current one on that device). If you knowputty
you could use it too
