Accessing DigitalOcean droplets in Windows/Linux remotely

How to access DigitalOcean cloud droplets remotely


You can access the Digital Ocean droplet terminal from access panel or can use the ssh to access it remotely.

In Windows I strongly recommend to use Linux Subsystem. I use openSuse and it is cool.

In your terminal fire the command

ssh username@ip

Here username can be root and IP is the IP of your droplet. Go to the control panel and copy the IP.
