SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a web server and conduct different tasks through a command line. The protocol is popular with many skilled users, since the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access can be employed for a variety of things depending on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the web server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for just about anything - you may install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which enable you to use the protocol if your computer is working with a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a number of providers change it for security reasons.
