Enable SSH Server
Sometimes, we need to access our machine remotely, and that is where SSH (Secure Shell) comes into play. Enabling SSH Server on Ubuntu is straightforward, we just need to have openssh-server
package installed which we can install by -
Install SSH Server
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y openssh-server
To check whether or not the SSH Server is running run -
$ sudo systemctl status ssh
Open port for SSH Server in Firewall
sudo ufw allow ssh
Connecting to SSH Server
ssh {USER}@{MACHINE_IP}
Note: In case ssh
command is not available, one need to install openssh-client
package.
