SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that is used to exchange encoded info between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any information. Many tech-savvy clients opt for SSH mainly because of the better security level. The connection is established and the commands are sent via a command line. The offered options depend on the type of hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files may be moved or deleted, databases could be imported and exported, and archives can be created or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your choices are a lot more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software could be set up and much more. These things aren't possible on a shared server, because full root access is required and all the other customers 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.
