You can launch SA:MP by typing the following into an SSH (Putty) terminal: nohup ./samp03svr &
This will launch the SA:MP server, and slap it in the background so you can keep working on the SSH instance, and it won't kill the server if you exit SSH. If it doesn't work, make sure you're in the SA:MP folder.

If you need to kill the server before launching the new one, then login to rcon and type 'exit' into it. You can also kill the process by typing "top" in SSH, and then finding the process and killing it. You may want to install htop (apt-get install htop, or yum install htop - depending on linux distro) it offers an easier GUI.

To edit the server file, you can type nano server.cfg, or pico server.cfg depending on what you have installed, if neither appear to work, then just apt-get or yum for them. I personally prefer nano.

Also note that if all you did was upload a new version of the same thing the server is currently running, then typing into rcon "gmx" will restart the mode, you can also use "changemode newmode" to change to a different mode from rcon.
