SSL and SSH both are special encryption and protocol technologies used to connect two computers.
SSH: SSH stands for “Secure Shell” which commonly uses port 22 to connect your system on another system via internet. It is often used by network administrators as a remote login or remote control to manage their business servers.
SSL: SSL stands for “Secure Sockets Layer” it commonly uses port 443 to connect your system to a secure system on the Internet. It is often used for transmitting information like tax, banking, credit card, personal information to a business server somewhere.
