How to ssh a Remote Linux Server?

To connect to a remote Linux server using Secure Shell (SSH), you will need to do the following:

Install an SSH client on your local machine. If you are using a Unix-like operating system (e.g., Linux, macOS), you can use the built-in ssh command. If you are using Windows, you can use a program like PuTTY or MobaXterm.
Determine the hostname or IP address of the remote server. This is the address that you will use to connect to the server. You can usually find the hostname or IP address in the server’s documentation or by contacting the server’s administrator.
Open a terminal window on your local machine and enter the following command:

				
					ssh username@hostname

Replace username with your username on the remote server and hostname with the hostname or IP address of the server. For example:

				
					ssh john@server.example.com

If this is the first time you have connected to the server, you may see a message asking you to confirm the authenticity of the server’s host key. Type yes and press Enter to continue.
Enter your password when prompted. If you have entered the correct username and password, you should be logged into the remote server.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
