I think this is the important detail.
So your main DOS computer will presumably be at the same
premises/building/appartment as the new linux box?
If so you will not need vpn or domain name just to ssh from DOS computer
to linux ssh account. VPN or domain name are different ways to enable
accessing the linux shell account (besides other services) remotely over
the internet. You can substitute the domain name in the ssh command with
the ip address of your linux box right on your network.
3. Credentials:
Absolutely, yes that works, you can log in using username and password.
I'm pretty sure I have some kind of DOS somewhere here... I hardly ever
use it. I will dig it out and experiment with ssh from that to my debian
box. It never before occurred to me to try that.
