SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and conduct different tasks using a command line. The protocol is preferred by many knowledgeable users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a variety of things depending on the type of Internet 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 if the server allows for it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for just about anything - you could install software or restart particular services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients that permit you to use the protocol if your PC is working with a different OS too. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.
