SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and execute various tasks through a command line. The protocol is popular with many skilled users, as the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a lot of things depending on the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the web server permits it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you could install software or restart particular services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that enable you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is working with a different OS as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port though a lot of providers change it for security reasons.
