This is just a quick and easy tutorial on how to connect to a remote system via SSH (secure shell). It is intended to outline the basic connection process for my other tutorials that may require it.

We'll use a client called PUTTY to do this since most of my tutorials include screenshots from that program.

Visit this link to download PUTTY.

In this UNIX tutorial, I'll run you through some of the basic commands you will need to get started when you decide to tackle command line.

Unlike most Unix command tutorials, I'll throw in some desktop shots so can see the end result of an action. If you want to follow along, you'll need an SSH client (again - we use PUTTY) to connect to your server.
