SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to transfer encrypted data between a client and a web server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy users choose SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent using a command line. The available options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files can be relocated or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed and a lot more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, due to the fact that full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server will be affected. Although SSH is used largely with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
