SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and execute various tasks through a command line. The protocol is popular with many experienced users, because the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be employed for a number of things based on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the server permits it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for practically everything - you can install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used typically with UNIX-like Systems, but there are clients that allow you to use the protocol if your PC is working with a different OS as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port although lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
