SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a server and carry out various tasks through a command line. The protocol is preferred by many knowledgeable users, because the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a lot of things with regards to the type of 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 server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for pretty much anything - you can install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed mainly with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients which enable you to use the protocol if your computer is using a different Operating System too. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port though lots of providers change it for security reasons.
