    Default shell access

    I know some web hosts provide shell access, but I'm not sure what it's best used for.

    Secure Shell (SSH) access allows you to log in to your web hosting account and use UNIX/Linux command line instructions to administer your website. This allows you to compress/decompress files easily, automate backups and other tasks (cron), change file permissions for complete directory structures, it can transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols, etc.
