well it depents, on what programming language you are using, or are you just using a linux command line? Anyway, you will need some software to support it.

What are you using to connect to the remote ssh server? Do you want to just open a terminal from Windows, Mac or Linux, or do you want to open up a terminal from a scripting / programming language such as C++, Bash, Java, etc...?

SSH stands for secure shell.

Linux's version of the windows command prompt, has some commands that are the same as DOS, with the added commands of the Unix operating system.

SSH is the remote way of accessing the Linux shell.

You need a client program to access your server (as long as it is you own box, or a VPS means solution).

You basically need something like Putty, I would be very weary on opening the port on your router (thats if you have one).

SSH by default operates on port 22, I would change the default, and then use Putty connecting to that port something other than the default, as you will get a whole load of people trying to hack your server as soon as you open that port on your router.

At best its probably wise to make your own RSA key, copy it from the server to your putty folder and only allow users to login to your server by having that file on your local computer (not your server), has to be there to check against it.

So if they dont have the RSA key, they cannot get to your server, security is paramount when opening ports, people malicious people just love to break things, with no thought of what bother it causes other people.

If its a hosting company, then I very much doubt whether they will have installed any GUI, and frankly why would you want to? Slows your server down.

If you already have a GUI installed of course with X Windows Sever (need that to run any of the GUIs), then just enable remote desktop and use Tight VNC viewer.
