Subject: Re: connecting via ssh to hostgator's ruby server

This isn't really a Rails question, but I'll answer it anyhow. :)

In terminal type: ssh yourusername@yourdomain.com:2222

It may be (space)2222 or -p 2222 rather than :2222; I can't remember
(I'm on my work machine that's windows).  It should ask for your
password; input that and you should be good to go.
