SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to connect to a server and execute different tasks using a command line. The protocol is popular with many knowledgeable users, for the reason that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be employed for a lot of things depending on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is among the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file in case the server permits it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for just about everything - you may install software or restart certain services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed largely with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which permit you to use the protocol if your computer system is using a different OS as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port though a number of service providers change it for security reasons.
