SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a web server and perform various tasks through a command line. The protocol is used by many experienced users, due to the fact that 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 a number of things depending on the type of website hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the server allows it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for just about everything - you can install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used typically with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients that allow you to use the protocol if your PC 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 even though lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
