Here are some handy commands for connecting to servers and copying files about. These are all for Linux terminal / bash shell
Do cool things with ssh; log in & run command, find files in dir
# log into server
ssh [email protected] -Y
# -X Enables X11 forwarding. <- use this to enable X11 graphical windows, but this will eventually time out & you'll lose the X11 connection
# -Y Enables trusted X11 forwarding. <- this one preserves your X11 connection while you're logged in
