Virtual Terminals via SSH

If you want more than one window when using SSH, instead of opening up multiple ssh sessions/putty windows you can type

screen -S 1

This will start the screen utility, and give you a new window.

To open a new window use CTRL-A C

Top swop windows use CTRL-A window number or just CTRL-A

Its handy if you want to have a couple or more windows open and swap between them fast.
