This document will step through the process of accessing a Linux server, and several basic commands.

SSH

We will access the server via the SSH, or “Secure SHell”, protocol. SSH provides encrypted communication between two terminals. It is an alternative to telnet or rlogin.

First, make sure that you have an SSH client. If you are running Windows, I highly recommend downloading Putty. Click on the top Windows binary and save it to the desktop. You can run Putty.exe directly, without installing.
