Connecting to Website from Terminal

[Jetheat]

Hi, When I log in to the Mac Terminal utility, I see a prompt with:

My computer name:~ Mylogin_name$

I want to be able to connect to my website with a port setting of 2200.

How do I do that? I know I need to type SSH to connect but what after that?

I am running leopard.

It's given me these help commands but I'm not sure I understand them...

ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
[-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
[-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
[-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
[-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
[-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] [user@]hostname [command]

Appreciate the help,

JH

ssh -p 2200 username@website.com

I believe.

In the future, try:

man ssh

Which will give you the manual.

When I connect to my server I use..

ssh root@12.123.12.12

It then prompts me for my pass and I'm in.

Thanks, this worked for me: ssh -p 2200 username@website.com

Now, I have been given a command to enter in there:
iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -s 62.213.0.0/16

When I enter this command, i get the following reply:

-bash: iptables: command not found

How do I solve this?

Once you're in, try typing

which iptables

That will tell you if the iptables command is in your PATH or not. If it isn't (which I suspect is the reason why you're getting command not found), then you'll either have to figure out what directory it is in and type the full path to it, or contact your administrator (if that isn't you).
