SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to connect to a server and execute various tasks using a command line. The protocol is preferred by many expert users, since the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be employed for a number of things depending on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the web server allows for it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you may install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your computer system is using a different Operating System as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
