How do I Logging in remotely from my Desktop into Linux server?

To log in remotely from your desktop to a Linux server, you can use a remote login client such as ssh.

ssh (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that allows you to securely log in to a remote server and execute commands on the server. It uses encryption to secure the connection between the client and the server, making it a secure and efficient way to access remote servers.

To log in to a Linux server using ssh, you will need to know the IP address or hostname of the server and the username and password of an account on the server.

You can log in to the server using the ssh command from the terminal on your desktop. For example, to log in to the server with the IP address 192.168.1.100 using the username john, you can use the following command:

$ ssh john@192.168.1.100

This will prompt you for the password for the john account on the server. Once you enter the correct password, you will be logged in to the server and will be able to execute commands on the server.

You can also use the ssh command to log in to the server using a key pair instead of a password. A key pair consists of a private key and a public key, and it allows you to log in to the server without entering a password.

To use a key pair to log in to the server, you will need to generate a key pair on your desktop and copy the public key to the server. You can then use the private key to log in to the server without entering a password.

For example, to generate a key pair and copy the public key to the server, you can use the following commands:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
$ ssh-copy
