SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and conduct different tasks using a command line. The protocol is employed by many experienced users, because 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 based on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the website hosting server permits it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for practically everything - you could install software or restart particular services such as the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients that enable you to use the protocol if your PC is working with a different OS 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 though many service providers change it for security reasons.
