SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a server and execute various tasks through a command line. The protocol is preferred by many knowledgeable users, due to the fact that the information 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 variety of things based on the type of website hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the website hosting server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much anything - you may install software or restart specific services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that enable you to employ the protocol if your computer system is running a different Operating System 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 many providers change it for security reasons.
