SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol employed to exchange encrypted data between a client and a server, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH mainly because of the better level of security. The connection is made and the commands are sent through a command line. The offered options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases can be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the choices are considerably more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be installed plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is needed and all the other clients on that server shall be affected. Although SSH is employed predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so on.
