First advice, get at least 1GB of RAM in it.
SSH(and all the other unixlike commandline utilities) is built in.

For FTP there is transmit.
I mainly use a command line client (lftp via fink) or Dreamweavers built in 'Sync' function.

I use Vim as a text editor, but that is surely not an editor for everyone
A popular editor for Mac OS is BBEdit
