SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a web server and conduct various tasks using a command line. The protocol is preferred by many expert users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be used for a variety of things with regards to the type of 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 if the server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for virtually anything - you may install software or restart particular services such as the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which allow you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is working with 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 although a lot of providers change it for security reasons.
