Using PuTTY
to connect to the Shell Server
PuTTY is a Windows implementation of SSH. It can be
downloaded
here. It does not
require installation, just download it and run.
Usage :
1. First, download
PuTTY (it's free).
When you open PuTTY, type your server IP into
the Host Name box. Leave all other settings the
same. Click Open.
2. Click Yes to the Security Warning.
3. Login as your root username
and hit the Enter key, and then your VPS password
(and hit Enter).
(No text will show up when you
type your password.)
Now you are in SSH!
Short Guide to the bash shell
The bash shell is the default for VPS Server (and
most other *nix systems.)
cd /some/dir - changes directory.
ls - List the contents of the current directory.
pwd - print the current directory.
cp sourcefile newfileordir - copy firstfile to the
second location. If a nonexistent file, it will be
copied with the new name. If a directory, it will be
copied there with the same name.
man somecommand - Check the manual page for
somecommand. These are very useful.
apropos somefunction - Check what command does
somefunction.
To go to a higher directory, cd .. or cd ../. This
idea applies to all file paths.
notes - Notesfiles
Remember that everything is case-sensitive. Also,
tab completion rules. Start typing a filename
anywhere in the command and it will autocomplete as
far as possible, usually to the end.
