SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and perform various tasks using a command line. The protocol is preferred by many expert 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 with regards to the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the web server permits it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually 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 primarily with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that enable you to employ the protocol if your personal computer is working with a different Operating System too. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port though many providers change it for security reasons.
