How do I remote into a Linux server from Windows?

Method 1:Remote Access using SSH (Secure Shell)

After Installing the PuTTY software write the name of your Linux system, or it’s IP address under the “Host Name (or IP address)” label. Make sure to set the connection to SSH if it isn’t. Now click open. And voila, you now have access to the Linux command line.
