Connecting to Linux via SSH
This guide shows how to connect to the command line of your Linux server via SSH (Secure Shell), whether you work on macOS, Linux or Windows.
Connection from macOS or Linux
On macOS and Linux, the SSH client is already integrated into the native Terminal. No additional software installation is required.
Standard connection via IP address:
Terminal SSH
Connection via a custom port (e.g., 1023):
Terminal SSH (Custom Port)
ssh [email protected] -p 1023
Connection from Windows
Method 1: Integrated OpenSSH (Recommended)
Modern versions of Windows (10 & 11) include a built-in client available directly via PowerShell or the Command Prompt (cmd).
PowerShell / CMD
ssh root@your_server_ip
Method 2: PuTTY (Alternative)
1
Download PuTTY from the official website.

Enter your Server IP in the "Host Name" field (Port 22, Connection type: SSH).
3
Click "Open" and log in with
root and your password.Security Tip: When typing your password in the terminal, no characters (not even asterisks) will be displayed. Simply type the password and press Enter.
