Using SSH

A beginners guide

By using a SSH client, you can connect to your Virtual Server from anywhere in the world, and log in to your server as if you were sitting right in front it. Unfortunately for you windows users out there you will have to learn some Unix Commands to do so though!

Get an SSH Client

There are quite a few SSH clients available, many of which are free.
This documentation supports using PuTTY (freeware available at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty.html)


Connecting To Your Virtual Server
Once you have chosen a SSH client, connecting to your Virtual Server is extremely simple. Although SSH clients vary in their exact configuration, most of them will simply require you to specify a "remote host". Your remote host is your Virtual Server, so you would specify your domain name or your IP numbers.

Once you are connected, you will be prompted for your login name and login password. After the login process is successful, you will have gained access to your Virtual Server and can now issue commands at the command prompt. If you are not familiar with UNIX, you can learn some simple UNIX commands and use them with confidence.

For more information on SSH, be sure to check out our Online Users Guide. The manual will help you become very comfortable using SSH.
Also see our F.A.Q.'s on Server Administration.

Some commands to become familiar with:

% apachectl configtest
Tests the config files before restarting the Server

% apachectl restart

% vnukelog -a
