SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a web server and execute different tasks through a command line. The protocol is employed by many experienced users, due to the fact that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access could be employed for lots of things with regards to the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually everything - you could install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that allow you to employ the protocol if your personal computer is running a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though a lot of providers change it for security reasons.
