→Installing SSH on an Ubuntu Linux System
== Installing SSH on an Ubuntu Linux System ==
In order for a system to accept SSH connections the system must first be running the SSH server. By default, Ubuntu Linux does not install the SSH server so the first step is to ensure that the server is installed. This can be performed using either the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt-get command-line tool.
To install using the Synaptic Package Manager, select the ''System'' desktop menu and then click on ''Synaptic Package Manager'' in the ''Administration'' sub-menu. Enter your password when prompted to do so. Click on the Search button in the toolbar and search for ''openssh-server''. After the search completes, you will see ''openssh-server'' in the package list. Simply click on the check box next to this item and follow the instructions to install the SSH server package. When you are ready to initiate the installation, click the ''Apply'' button in the Synaptic toolbar.
