=How to SSH to your server=

Command Line interface (CLI) is a very powerful tool when managing servers. You can access your server via many different means, on many different Operating Systems. Each Operating System has their own way of accessing its Command Line. Your Cloud Hosting is accessible via a ''Secure Shell Interface'', '''SSH''', for command-line access. The login username is '''<$EXAMPLE>''' with the password you have created for it.
This guide will cover the most common connection means.

==What you will need==
* Your username and password
* Your server IP address (This can be found at https://xmission.com/account/)
* A program that allows SSH, like Terminal, PuTTY, etc

===Connecting over SSH via Windows===
[https://ninite.com/putty/ PuTTY] is the leading SSH client for windows, and is availible for a free download.

* Below is a screenshot of PuTTY - you will want to fill in your IP address of your server and then click Open.

* Enter <ftp-username>@your-ip-address and then your password
