Secure Shell, better known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange information between a server and a client. Given that the information exchanged by the 2 sides is encoded, a 3rd party can't intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of handling a website hosting account. The commands which may be executed depend on the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the possibilities are limited as you shall not have root access to the website hosting server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. They're all actions which are executed within the shared hosting account and don't need a higher level of access. Through a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll be able to set up server-side software or to restart the hosting server or just a certain service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted via a command line, and if you don't employ a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a lot of applications for other OSs, you can use to connect to the remote hosting server as well.

All you'll require for this is a console or an SSH client on your end.
