If you have SSH installed on your server, you can connect very easily. Use the below command skeleton to sign-on through a terminal.

ssh [email protected]

If you're using SSH keys, ensure that you have them in your ~/.ssh folder. You may need to register them. Otherwise, the system will ask you for your password upon login.

To get more information about SSH and the command, type man ssh into your terminal.

I am currently using PuTTY to connect to my Linux server. However, I feel like it is unnecessary. Is there a way for me to connect to my Linux server directly from my terminal?

  You want to learn how to use ssh. Try typing man ssh in a terminal, or search the internet for one of the many SSH tutorials available online.

  If you want to connect from other machine, you have to install ssh on server and access it from a ssh client installed in second the machine. See this article for more detail.

  Do you mean cmd.exe by terminal? I am assuming Windows as you mentioned PuTTY.
