You’ll need to make sure that screen is installed on the server you are connecting to. If that server is Ubuntu or Debian, just use this command:

Now you can start a new screen session by just typing screen at the command line. You’ll be shown some information about screen. Hit enter, and you’ll be at a normal prompt.

To disconnect (but leave the session running)

To reconnect to an already running session

To reconnect to an existing session, or create a new one if none exists

To create a new window inside of a running screen session

To switch from one screen window to another

To list open screen windows

There’s lots of other commands, but those are the ones I use the most.
