SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and perform different tasks via a command line. The protocol is popular with many expert users, for the reason that the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access may be used for lots of things with regards to the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the server allows for it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for practically 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 employed mainly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which allow you to use the protocol if your computer is running a different OS too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though many providers change it for security reasons.
