Connecting on Windows

PuTTY

Download and install the latest version of PuTTY.

1. After opening PuTTY, fill in the details:
   
   1. Host Name: username@example.ircnow.org -- for example, if your username is john, and your server address is example.ircnow.org, then fill in john@example.ircnow.org.
   2. Port: 22
   3. Click Open at the bottom.
2. Enter your password.

Built-in SSH

Recent versions of Windows 10 come with ssh by default, so PuTTY is not necessary.

1. Right-click the Start button or press Windows+X, then select Windows PowerShell.
2. Type ssh username@example.ircnow.org -- replace username with your real username, and replace example.ircnow.org with your shell account server.
