SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a web server and execute different tasks using a command line. The protocol is used 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 3rd party. SSH access can be employed for lots of things depending 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 website hosting server allows it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for practically anything - you may install software or restart particular services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your computer is using a different OS too. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.
