How do I access SSH (Secure Shell)?

If you're running Microsoft Windows on your local computer, we recommend downloading PuTTY - a free SSH and easy-to-use SSH client. 

For other OS's such as Linux or Mac, you can use the ssh command via Terminal. More information can be found here.

The standard port will always be 22, and the username will be root.
