SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and perform different tasks via a command line. The protocol is popular with many knowledgeable users, because the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access may be employed for a number of things based on the type of website 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 when the web server allows for it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually everything - you can install software or restart specific services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that allow you to employ the protocol if your computer is using a different Operating System too. 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 a number of service providers change it for security reasons.
