How to connect via SSH to your server

To connect via SSH (Secure Shell) to your server, you’ll need a few key pieces of information and follow a basic command syntax. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

What You Need  

Server IP address or domain name (e.g., 192.168.1.100 or example.com)

Username on the server (often root or another user)

Password or SSH key (for authentication)

SSH client (typically pre-installed on macOS/Linux; for Windows, you can use PowerShell or tools like PuTTY)

Using SSH with Password Authentication  

Open a terminal (or command prompt) and type:

ssh username@server_ip

Example:

ssh root@192.168.1.100

You will then be prompted to enter the password.
