SSH, which is an abbreviation for Secure Shell, is a network protocol that's used to exchange encrypted info between a client and a server, which makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to intercept any info. Many tech-savvy clients favor SSH mainly because of the higher level of security. The connection is created and the commands are sent using a command line. The accessible options depend on the type of web hosting service - on a shared server, in particular, files can be relocated or deleted, databases may be imported and exported, and archives can be set up or unpacked. On a virtual or a dedicated server, your options are considerably more - the web server and the database server can be started/stopped/rebooted, server-side software can be installed plus much more. These things are not possible on a shared server, because full root access is needed and all the other customers on that server shall be affected. Even though SSH is used predominantly with UNIX-like Operating Systems, there are SSH clients for other OSs too - Windows, Mac OS, and so forth.
