Using SSH

SSH, which stands for "Secure SHell", is a means of obtaining a secure command-line interface on a remote server host.

On Linux you can open a terminal window then enter the command ssh -l <username> <host> where <username> should be replaced with your actual username and <host> by the domain name or IP address of the host you want to connect to. You will be prompted for the password associated with the username. If this is the first time you have attempted to connect to this host using SSH you will be asked to confirm the fingerprint of the host you are attempting to connect to. To exit an SSH session, type Control-D or "exit". For example, to connect to host www.mydomain.com using username "goliath" you would enter: 

ssh -l goliath www.mydomain.com

On Microsoft Windows you can use the PuTTY terminal emulator.
