How To Guide on SSH

For Windows users, download a SSH program like Putty. Put the IP address or hostname of the server in the "Host Name" field. Now click "Open." It may ask you if you trust the server's SSH-RSA fingerprint. If you trust the server you are connecting to, Click "Yes" to login to the server.

If using Mac or Linux, open a Terminal and type "ssh -l username hostname." For example, "ssh -l bob yourwebsite.com." It will ask you if you trust the server's SSH-RSA fingerprint. If you trust the server you are trying to connect to, type in "Yes" to login to the server.
