How To log Onto Your Self-Managed Server

To access your server via SSH you need to have a Windows SSH client such as Putty installed on your workstation:

1. Click on ‘Start’ and select ‘Run’
2. In the command line type in putty -ssh root@[first usable IP] then hit ENTER
3. Your username is “root”; you can then enter your root password

Option 2:

You can use Telnet to access your server from your command line:

1. Click on ‘Start’ and select ‘Run’
2. In the command line type: telnet hostname or telnet hostname: port (for a specific port)
3. Your username is “root”; you can then enter your root password

If my PC/ Workstation is using Linux:

1. Open a terminal
2. SSH to the required IP address
