SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and execute various tasks via a command line. The protocol is employed by many knowledgeable users, as the information transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be used for a lot of things depending on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the web server allows it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much anything - 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 typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your personal computer is working with a different OS too. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though lots of service providers change it for security reasons.
