BTW, when you follow cscat suggestions and you _are_ running Windows, you may find that there's no "ssh" command installed. Windows doesn't ship with an SSH client, so you might have to install it yourself. However, my recommendation would not have been a pure CLI client but rather PuTTY, I think. But either one should work.
I realize that, but I'm intelligent enough not to mess around with this without consulting supporting documents and following instructions to the letter, or inquiring here with those who are vastly more knowledgeable.

I have no intention of just doing random junk to it.
