SSH Telnet
Discover more about SSH and how this easy protocol will give you the cabability to quickly handle whole web servers.
SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol used to connect to a web server and conduct different tasks through a command line. The protocol is popular with many skilled users, because the info transmitted over it is encrypted, so it may not be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access could be used for a lot of things depending on the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for instance, SSH is one of several ways to import/export a database or to upload a file if the hosting server permits it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH could be used for practically everything - you could install software or restart particular services including the web server or the database server that run on the machine. SSH is employed typically with UNIX-like Operating Systems, but there are clients which permit you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is using a different OS as well. The connection is made on TCP port 22 by default and the remote hosting server always listens for incoming connections on that port although a lot of service providers change it for security reasons.
