SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to transfer encrypted info between a client and a web server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy users prefer SSH because of the better security level. The connection is created and the commands are sent through a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of Internet hosting service - on a shared server, for instance, files can be transferred or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives may be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, the options are significantly more - the web server and the database server could be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and more. These things are not possible on a shared server, since full root access is required and all the other clients on that server will be affected. While SSH is used primarily with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs as well - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
