Using PuTTY to connect to a server via SSH

PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Windows and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. It is written and maintained primarily by ¹⁾Simon Tatham. More specific information about PuTTY can be found on the Official ²⁾PuTTY Website.

1. Open the PuTTY application.
2. Under the "Session" section, fill in the details specified here:
   • Hostname/IP Address: <ip address of your server>
   • Port: 2200 (unless you've altered the default)
   • Connection Type: <SSH>
3. Click "Open"
4. You will then be prompted for the user's login details. You'll want to provide the user as 'root' with the corresponding root password for your server.
