Web developers should learn SSH commands because they simplify essential tasks like moving files within the same server, efficiently handling large database imports/exports, navigating directories quickly, downloading large files from other servers, changing file permissions, finding and searching files, automating tasks with scripts and cron jobs, monitoring system performance, managing user permissions, restarting services, and more. This not only saves time but also enhances productivity and control over web projects.
