SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and execute various tasks using a command line. The protocol is popular with many skilled users, since the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be used for a lot of things with regards to the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the hosting server allows it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for practically anything - you could install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used mainly with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which permit you to employ the protocol if your personal computer is working with a different OS 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 a number of providers change it for security reasons.
