Using SSH in Putty (Windows)

Putty is a free SSH & telnet client for Windows and UNIX platforms that can be used to make an SSH connection to your server.

You would need this client to access your server and can download the latest client from the link below:

Enter your connection settings:

Host Name (Or IP address) — Name your session or simply put whatever you want to call it Save & Click Open to launch the Putty

First step is to log in as “root”.

Update & Security 

First, you use the update option to resynchronize the package index files from their sources on Ubuntu Linux via the Internet, Second, you use the upgrade option to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the Ubuntu system. In other words, get security updates for your machine.
