SSH Telnet
Learn what SSH is and also just how it is possible to control a whole server using it.
SSH, or Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to connect to a web server and carry out different tasks via a command line. The protocol is preferred by many experienced users, for the reason that the data transmitted over it is encrypted, so it cannot be intercepted on the way by a third party. SSH access can be used for a variety of things with regards to the type of Internet hosting account. With a shared hosting account, for example, SSH is one of the ways to import/export a database or to upload a file when the server permits it. If you have a virtual or a dedicated server, SSH may be used for virtually everything - you could install software or restart specific services such as the web server or the database server which run on the machine. SSH is employed primarily with UNIX-like Platforms, but there are clients which permit you to use the protocol if your laptop or computer is working with a different Operating System 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 even though lots of providers change it for security reasons.
