Get Putty (or SecureCRT or any number of other SSH compliant terminal programs)

log in using the user/pass info and then you should get a prompt

if you have uploaded a file with the crontab entry that you need, you can do:

# get the current crontab listings appended to your file
crontab -l >> newcrontabfilethatyouuploaded
crontab newcrontabfilethatyouuploaded

If you feel comfortable with your editor on there, you could do:

# set the editor to nano just in case
EDITOR=nano;export EDITOR
VISUAL=nano;export VISUAL
crontab -e

and paste the line in.

Then if the editor is nano, control-X will save. If you are in nvi/vi, then inserting the line will be a little challenging if you don't feel comfortable with vi.
