https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html Once you have installed PuTTY then to SSH in first run it. Once it runs enter your Hostname/ip address in the first field. For example Hostname/ip: user123@shell.ircnow.org {{:putty.png?direct&400|}} Everything else is already set. Click "Open" button after that and enter your password when it prompts. {{:putty1.png?direct&400|}} you are all set! If you are on windows 10 you can do it without puTTY. All you need is Command Prompt. After Running Command Prompt enter **ssh yourUsername** for example in my case ssh user123@shell.ircnow.org {{:shelloncmd.png?direct&400|}} next enter your password and you are all set {{:shelloncmd1.png?direct&400|}}
