SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to transfer encrypted data between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users opt for SSH due to the enhanced security level. The connection is established and the commands are delivered using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be transferred or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives may be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are significantly more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be installed and a lot more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server will be affected. While SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
