SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange protected info between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any data. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH because of the enhanced security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, for example, files could be transferred or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are a lot more - the web server and the database server may 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 clients on that server would 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 forth.
