SSH Telnet
Learn about the Telnet protocol and its usage.
Secure Shell, also known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote hosting server or to exchange info between a website hosting server and a client. As the info exchanged by the two sides is protected, a 3rd party simply cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favored means of handling a hosting account. The commands which may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared web server, in particular, the possibilities are limited since you simply won't have root access to the website hosting server, so you may simply create/move/delete files, create and unpack archives, export and import databases, etcetera. They're all actions that are executed in the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. With a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to set up server-side software or to restart the machine or just a particular service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you do not use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, which you can use to connect to the remote web server as well.
