SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to exchange protected information between a client and a hosting server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients choose SSH due to the enhanced level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent via a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are considerably more - the web server and the database server may 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 required and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Even though SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
