SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encoded information between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy users favor SSH due to the enhanced security level. The connection is created and the commands are delivered through a command line. The available options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives could be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options 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 are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server would be affected. Although SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like OSs, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, etc.
