I am new to the world of Unix and would like to install some type of editor to run Unix ssh commands on my windows PC. If that is not possible then how can i go about practicing Unix commands? I would be making directories and storing data in them if that helps.
From what I am reading you want to practice working in a unix command line on your windows PC. Is this correct?
If so I might recommend you check out cygwin.
ref: http://www.cygwin.com/
cygwin can install on a windows machine and provide you with an emulated linux shell. you can do pretty much anything basic you can do in linux in cygwin.
I would recommend two things which will enable you to use ssh:
1) If you want to keep on using Windows but have a remote machine on which you could login via ssh I recommend PUTTY.
2) You can set up a virtual machine using e.g. VirtualBOX.
I think, running a Linux VM on virtualbox is a better choice. You have a complete system to play with.

How can I use in the window terminal the linux commands?
For example: use the "ls" command to see the directories of the files inside the same window terminal, if someone knows about it, thanks in advance.
There are several ways to do that, depending on what you mean by your request:
You could use wsl (windows subsystem for linux) and have fun with the Linux shell inside Windows (It's running a linux distribution however, so I don't know if it's what you want).
I use personally git bash and I think that's what you want.
If by "using linux commands" you mean practising with the Linux environment, I strongly suggest to install a VM with Linux on it, or go as far as dual-booting it with Windows.
If you are experienced and you just want a way to have the same commands, then as I said, Git bash or also Cygwin are the way to go

I am looking to remotely transfer a file from my Linux machine to a Windows machine. I have done some research and it appears that scp is what I want to use to achieve this. However... all of the code that I'm seeing appears to be using cygwin (or similar) that is already installed on the windows machine, hardly "remote." My two systems are completely separate and have their own unique IP addresses.
Filezilla or WinSCP will do the job. It's required only to have SSH server running on your Linux machine, enabled SSH port (tcp/22 by default) in firewall and your Windows computer must be able to reach the Linux host - you can try ping <Linux-machine-IP> from your Windows computer to verify.
If you want something else, you could configure Samba or probably WebDAV (httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_dav.html), which allow you to mount your Linux directories as drives in Windows without additional tools. For example, your linux home /home/user can be mounted as Y: drive in Windows.
If you already have an ssh server on your Linux machine, I suggest using Filezilla, which comes with a GUI.
You just want to install the client on windows, don't bother with the server, a classic ssh server does the job.

I come from a Windows background and have been using Remote Desktop to view a remote server's desktop on my local machine. Remote desktop is probably the most popular tool for doing this because it's already part of the OS. Is there a similar tool for Windows but for accessing a Linux machine instead?
Try VNC. It works on Mac and Linux. You need to be running the server portion on the Linux host.
Take a look at xrdp. According to project description you can even use your native Windows client to access Linux desktop:
The goal of this project is to provide a fully functional Linux
terminal server, capable of accepting connections from rdesktop,
freerdp, and Microsoft's own terminal server / remote desktop clients.
try TeamViewer you can download it from

here is a window host ip is 192.168.8.1
i can telnet in this host from linux host 192.168.2.1 and name/pwd is test test
i want a shell script to login in window host(192.168.8.1),and copy d:/log to f:/log.
from linux host ,how to write this linux script .
I hava already tried to think,thank you for you to answer it.
You can install an ssh server on windows (for example OpenSSH)
Here a link of a tutorial: http://www.worldgoneweb.com/2011/installing-openssh-on-windows-7/
Then you can use the scp command from linux machine to copy your files. http://linux.die.net/man/1/scp
I would first ask if you have any other access to the windows host? Does it have a ftp server?
Is it or can it share drives? Assuming you need to transfer the file via the telnet session stream you can check out Kermit. It was originally written to work on serial lines, but can also work with telnet sessions. A version of kermit needs to be installed on both windows and linux. It works with binary files. It also changes line endings if needed. Another possibility is zmodem.
Old versions of kermit are public domain. Should be Ok. Newer versions are not. See http://www.omen.com/zmdmev.html

So i know how to SSH into a box and create/modify directories etc. However I do want to know how I can open the exact GUI (For instance I want the Fedora environment that I have on my virtual machine) to open up. Meaning I need to be able to simply see my linux environment. Would anyone know how I can achieve this?
I am using a mac.
I'm presuming you want to see the gui you are running on the vm, which won't really help you here. You have a couple of options:
If you are running linux (or an X server like xceed) on the machine you are actually using, then you can enable X forwarding in ssh (-X on the command line) and then run your window manager from there.
Alternatively, you could look at installing a vnc server on your linux machine (I'd recommend tightvnc) and your host and connecting that way.
Either way this would be getting you a fresh desktop rather than what is visible on the console of the machine.
For the specific case of a virtual machine, as you mentioned, both vmware and virtualbox (I'm guessing you are using one of those) provide either vnc or rdesktop head support; you can then use either a vnc client or windows remote desktop client to connect to the actual console. In this instance this is probably what you want to do.
Set up a VNC server on your Linux machine, it can provide you with a desktop environment.
