SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a server and carry out various tasks using a command line. The protocol is used by many skilled users, as the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access could be employed for lots of things with regards to 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 in case the hosting server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for practically everything - you could install software or restart specific services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used typically with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which enable you to use the protocol if your laptop or 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 although a number of service providers change it for security reasons.
