SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a web server and conduct different tasks via a command line. The protocol is used by many knowledgeable users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be used for lots of things depending on the type of website 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 when the website hosting server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for just about everything - you could install software or restart particular services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your personal 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 though lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
