SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol which is used to connect to a web server and perform various tasks via a command line. The protocol is popular with many knowledgeable users, since the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access may be employed for a variety of things based on the type of website hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the server allows it. When you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for pretty much everything - you can install software or restart specific services like the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed mostly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients that allow you to use the protocol if your personal computer is working with a different Operating System as well. The connection is created on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port though a number of service providers change it for security reasons.
