One of the most powerful tools you’ll use with your VPS Servers or Cloud Instances is SSH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SSH, standing for Secure Shell, is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is amongst the critical tools outside of using IPMI to connect and manage your server directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can quickly download PuTTY and easily install it at: https:\/\/www.chiark.greenend.org.uk\/~sgtatham\/putty\/latest.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you open PuTTY, It’ll promote you to enter your connection settings to begin logging into your server via SSH.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Host Name: example.com or 0.0.0.0 (this is an example, and you should replace it with your FQDN or IP)
Port: 22 (leave as default)
Connection Type: SSH (Also, leave as default)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that you have filled that in click the Open button to begin your session!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If this is your first time connecting to the server from this computer, you will see the following output.
Accept the connection by clicking “Yes.”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once the SSH Connection is open, you should see a terminal prompt asking for your username:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are now logged into your server with SSH while using PuTTY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s about time to type in your commands at the prompt and manage your server!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
