SSH Telnet
Find what Telnet is and where it’s used.
Secure Shell, commonly known as SSH, is a cryptographic network protocol employed to execute commands on a remote server or to exchange information between a hosting server and a client. Given that the information exchanged by the two sides is encoded, a third party cannot intercept it, which makes SSH a favorite means of handling an Internet hosting account. The commands that may be executed are determined by the type of hosting service. On a shared server, in particular, the options are limited since you simply won't have root access to the website hosting server, so you may only create/move/delete files, set up and unpack archives, import and export databases, etcetera. They are all actions which are executed inside the shared hosting account and don't require a higher level of access. By using a virtual or a dedicated server, you'll have the ability to set up server-side software or to restart the server or just a specific service (web server, database server, etc.). SSH commands are submitted through a command line, and if you don't use a UNIX-like Operating System, there are a number of applications for other OSs, you can employ to connect to the remote web server as well.
