Using Terminal

[DJAKO]

I've used Putty on my windows machine to connect with my server using SSH. When I try to do it in terminal it doesn't seem to be the same. I click on file > connect to server. Then I input my username 'root' and the server IP. I click connect and I'm not prompted for a password like Putty does.

In terminal simply type ssh user@server and press enter, it will then prompt you for a password, remember you are using a REAL Unix machine now not windows .

EDIT: Though the "Connect" thing seems to work for me too.

Great! Thanks for your help.

How do you do commands to find a sites IP?

ON windows you could do stuff like ip yahoo.com or stuff like /ipconfig etc.

Any commands like this for terminal?
