SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a server and execute different tasks through a command line. The protocol is popular with many skilled users, because the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be employed for lots of things with regards to the type of web hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the website hosting server allows for it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for virtually everything - you could install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your PC is using a different OS as well. 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.
