How Do I Remotely Execute Command Line Commands From My Laptop To A Linux Server?


I am trying to download and install Icast 2 on a remote Linux server. I have rights to the server and can also FTP or access CPanel remotely, but want to remotely execute commands on the Linux Server to install and configure the Icecast and other software. THANKS!!!

    Use PuTTY.

    I assume you are coming from a Windows Machine ? This Linux server most likely has SSH running opposed to Telnet so you need to setup a session using putty. You can also send files over ssh using a free app such as winSCP. Another option is to setup a vncsession on the server , and connect with a remote desktop session.
    Download puttyhttp://www. chiark. greenend. org. uk/~sgtat…
    Download winSCPhttp://winscp. net/eng/download. php
    realvnc for Windowshttp://www. realvnc. com/products/free/4. 1…
    first you ssh into the linux box, and type vncserver then from windows machine, connect to the display’s ip and port num 1,2,3,etc.
