How to open SSH Server

[bashcommando]

apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
service ssh start

If something doesn't work put sudo before it like

sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client
sudo service ssh start

If that still doesn't work then

logout
root
[root's password here]
apt-get install openssh-server
service ssh start

If for some reason ssh doesn't work then attempt to create a dsa key
To secure that key type

chmod 600 [Name of key]

when you install openssh-server the service is started automatically.

Good note

You can log into your ip address to test it

ssh -YC [email protected]

Get your ip from

ifconfig

Again very useful but what does -YC do?

Let me introduce you to

man ssh

-Y    Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are not
              subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

      -C    Requests  compression  of  all  data  (including  stdin, stdout,
              stderr, and data for forwarded X11 and  TCP  connections).  The
              compression  algorithm  is  the  same  used  by gzip(1), and the
              ``level'' can be controlled by the CompressionLevel  option  for
              protocol version 1.  Compression is desirable on modem lines and
              other slow connections, but will only slow down things  on  fast
              networks.  The default value can be set on a host-by-host basis
              in the configuration files; see the Compression option.

So using -Y is like a remote desktop?

not really. It merely disables any kind of X11 security when streaming X over ssh. You still have to setup remote desktop. It is used in conjunction with it.

Cool. You really do learn something every day!
