SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a web server and conduct various tasks through a command line. The protocol is preferred by many experienced users, for the reason that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access can be employed for lots of things depending on the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the hosting server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for pretty much anything - you may install software or restart particular services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that enable you to employ the protocol if your laptop or computer is working with a different OS too. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
