So firstly, I need to set up PuTTY, a free and open source terminal emulator that will allow me to SSH into my remote web server. You need to connect to your development web server using SSH, where do you start… I’ll tell you where, Google, or you may find this guide of some use. If you find yourself with a bust Mac and you have to fall back on your old ‘reliable’ windows laptop.
