SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and execute different tasks via a command line. The protocol is popular with many expert users, as the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be used for lots of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the website hosting server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for practically everything - you can install software or restart certain services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your computer is running a different Operating System as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.
