Its a Secure Remote Control Protocol used mainly under Unix/Linux/Clones used to control the machine from a distance, its like Telnet only has encryption built in. A lot of web hosts allow Shell access for installation of scripts, etc. and its sometimes useful for controlling your site's MySQL database(s).
