Are you trying to SSH in? If so, it wouldn't be port 2083, it would be port 22 by default, but I recommend you change it to an alternate port, because FritzFrog wants to get on your server (along with a million script kiddies)!

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish for PuTTY. Usually it is used for telnet connections on port 23 (unencrypted) or SSH on port 22. I'm not understanding what it has to do with port 2083 (CWP user panel via HTTPS).

The port 2083 is used by the user level CWP panel. It accepts HTTPS connections and doesn't accept SSH connections.

In case you want to access the server as a regular user (not root) over SSH then you need to use the port 22 as @overseer mentioned.
