Remote update/restore of database through SSMS How can I update or restore a database through SQL Server Management Studio by connecting "remotely" to it?

If I know the "IP address" of machine, what else do I need to do? If a port number is required, how can I find it?
If you can connect to the server and you have the rights to do so, you can restore a database. The other thing that you'll need is to be able to get the backup files on to the servers hard drives or a network share that the SQL Server instance has rights to read.
