SSH Telnet
Discover more about the Telnet protocol and its usage.
SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a server and perform different tasks through a command line. The protocol is employed by many knowledgeable users, because the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a 3rd party. SSH access can be used for a lot of things depending on the type of hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the server permits it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH can be used for virtually anything - you may install software or restart specific services like the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is used typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which allow you to employ the protocol if your laptop or computer is running a different OS as well. The connection is established on TCP port 22 by default and the remote web server always listens for incoming connections on that port even though many service providers change it for security reasons.
