How to download and set up SSH on your Ubuntu Web Server

Copy and paste the following on line at a time:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server


Wait for the server to download and install


sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart


Add users just like you would normally add users System -> Administration -> Users and Groups

The username and password are the same for ssh as they are when the users log in to the box.

To use SSH from your MAC, Ubuntu and/or Windows type the following at the command prompt:

ssh username@www.yourdomain.com

You will be prompt for your password

When you are in your system all commands are Linux commands. You can use pwd to see where you are, but you should be /home/username and your web server should be /var/www/
