SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a server and carry out various tasks through a command line. The protocol is employed by many skilled users, due to the fact that the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be used for a variety of things based on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the web server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for just about everything - you could 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 Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your computer is running a different Operating System as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of providers change it for security reasons.
