SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and perform various tasks through a command line. The protocol is preferred by many knowledgeable users, for the reason that the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be used for a number of things based on the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for just about everything - you can install software or restart particular services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that permit you to employ the protocol if your personal computer is running a different Operating System as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
