How to log to openssh ubuntu server from windows???

[rado3105]

Hi I have just installed ubuntu server 7.10. I am new to linux servers. I want to log to that server(it is running openssh) from windows(computer(I want to log from is in the same subnet like server). Computer ip is 192.168.76.99, server ip is 192.168.76.4. How can I log there and what I need to install in windows to do that. Sorry for guestioning but I have no idea where to find some basics.

(1) on the linux box install openssh server

sudo apt-get install openssh-server


(2) Download Putty for windows
- use as address the server's IP address
- use as username your normal user name
- use as password your normal user password

if you want to transfer files then download winscp from http://www.winscp.com --> use same credentials as above you can can confortably transfer files.

Thanks it helped me a lot.
Is possible to log in there from some windows computer on internet(not from that local network), I have public IP on the network the ubuntu server is.

it is, if you are behind a router you just need to forward port 22 from the router to your linux box in your lan.

You could also use NXclient to control ubuntu from XP. See here:
