i Think the main goal of having ssh access to hosting is possibility to easy manage folders, copy files, pack and unpack files from archives... and such a things. I cant imagine how without access to shell or good file manager i have to transfer via ftp large website with thousands of small files.
I just had such a work last 2 weekends. Transfer between two hosting providers ~30 wordpress websites.
thanks to ssh i could login, tar all to one file and transfer at full speed directly between hosting servers.
Without ssh this would take ages
