Open a console (konsole) in your kde client and type

ssh YOUR_ACCOUNT@SERVER_HOSTNAME

to open up an ssh (secure shell, logins, passwords and packets will be
encrypted) connection to the server. This will give you a cli interface.
The server must have the ssh daemon running. If the ssh daemon is configured in
such a way that it does not allow root logins (some are, for reasons that do not
matter right now) you must use your own account name to login and use 'su' or
'sudo' to obtain root privileges.
