SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and execute different tasks via a command line. The protocol is used by many skilled 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 could be employed for a lot of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the web server permits it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for pretty much anything - you could install software or restart particular services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used typically with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that allow you to use the protocol if your personal computer is using a different OS too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port though lots of providers change it for security reasons.
