putty linux

Putty is a popular terminal emulator software originally designed for Windows. However, it does not have a native version for Linux. If you are using Linux, you can use SSH (Secure Shell) to access remote servers and manage them from the command line.

To connect to a remote server using SSH in Linux, you can use the built-in OpenSSH client. Here are the steps:

1. Open a terminal on your Linux machine.
2. Use the following command to connect to the remote server:

   ssh username@remote_address

Replace "username" with your username on the remote server and "remote_address" with the IP address or domain name of the remote server.
3. If it's your first time connecting to the server, you will be prompted to verify the authenticity of the host. Type "yes" to continue.
4. Enter your password when prompted. Note that when typing the password, no characters will be displayed on the screen for security reasons.
5. Once authenticated, you will be logged into the remote server via SSH.

Using SSH in Linux provides a secure and encrypted connection to remote servers, allowing you to execute commands and manage files remotely.
