SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and perform various tasks through a command line. The protocol is popular with many experienced users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access could be used for lots of things depending on the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the web server allows it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually anything - you may install software or restart particular services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which enable you to employ the protocol if your computer is using a different Operating System as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though a number of service providers change it for security reasons.
