SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a server and perform various tasks using a command line. The protocol is used by many skilled users, as the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access could be used for lots of things based on the type of web 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 in case the hosting server permits it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for just about anything - you could 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 Operating Systems, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your laptop or computer is using a different OS too. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a number of providers change it for security reasons.
