SSH Telnet

SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a web server and execute various tasks using a command line. The protocol is employed by many skilled users, as the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it can't be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access may be used for lots of things with regards to the type of website hosting account. With a shared hosting account, in particular, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the website hosting server allows for it. In case you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for pretty much everything - you may install software or restart certain services including the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used mostly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that permit you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is working with a different OS as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of providers change it for security reasons.
