Via SSH, you can remotely connect to CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD servers. You can connect to a Windows server using the RDP protocol.
How to connect via SSH:
1. Make sure you have root access to the server you want to connect to.
2. Get your logins ready, they should be something like whats shown below.

5. The connection will ask for a password. Enter the password from the instructions: for example, if the instructions say "password: YHr4mhn7hFJeN", enter YHr4mhn7hFJeN.
- Please note: the password cannot be copied and pasted, it must be entered manually. The letters you enter will not be displayed on the screen — this is protection from revealing your password. Type the symbols and press Enter.
