This article will show you how to check your diskspace usage on your server.
You can check your diskspace two seperate ways.
Once you have logged in to your dedicated server as root via SSH, type the following command in order to check the disk space usage: df -h
You can also login to your server web control panel at http://manage.europhase.net:5000 and check on the dashboard your server usage.
This article will show you how to connect to a linux server via SSH (Secure Shell).
On Windows we recommend the SSH program “PuTTy.”
PuTTY.exe is a program that makes Windows users establish a secure connection to Linux (and Unix) terminals, among other things
PuTTY can be downloaded from the authors website
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
When you open PuTTy you will be presented with the following screen:
Please enter the IP address or hostname of your linux server and then press the Open button.
You will then be shown the following message:
Click Yes to this message. You will get this the first time you connect to a server.
You will then be asked to enter your username and password.
You can now enter commands into the SSH client.
