Posted on December 16, 2008

By default,ssh server is not installed on ubuntu desktop edition.So if you want to enable ssh service on ubuntu you must install ssh server .

To install ssh server you just need to run command sudo apt-get install ssh in terminal

sudo apt-get install ssh

Then you can test your ssh service by sshing to your localhost:

   J% ssh localhost
    The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is 99:8a:b8:b9:9e:9a:86:e0:d4:08:27:fb:74:f0:df:d3.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

If you get results like this,you can try to ssh to your ubuntu from other computer.
