You can connect to the node to manage your wallet via bitcoin-cli:
On the side of the node you are connecting to, the rpcuser/rpcpassword parameters must be pre-declared in bitcoin.conf. Applying the config requires restarting the node.
Keep in mind that:
In general, the question has no context. It is not known what you are doing this for - home use or integration between servers. If you use this scheme to connect from the outside, and if the node server is hosted on Linux, it makes sense to connect directly via SSH and execute commands via bitcoin-cli terminally, from under the same user that bitcoind is running under.
