SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to exchange encoded info between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH due to the better security level. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are much more - the web server and the database server may be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software may be set up and much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other customers on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used largely with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
