[SOLVED] How do I access my web server from the command line?

I'm trying to follow Google's sitemap generation tutorial. I'm stuck on this part:

Quote:
In order to run the Sitemap Generator, you’ll need to connect to your web server. The method you use to connect depends on your environment. For instance, you can generally access a UNIX-based server using SSH. For more information on connecting to your web server and running scripts, talk to your web host.
This is pretty much gibberish to me, and my web host doesn't have a good record of communication.

Could anyone give me a simple-minded explanation of the process? What tools do I need to connect to a web server?

My host is running Apache, and I'm on a Windows PC.
