In this post, I will show you how to install and enable ssh on
Ubuntu
What is the use of SSH?
Let consider your Ubuntu machine is connected to your home WiFi
router. Now you want to access the Ubuntu terminal in your Windows machine
which is also connected to WiFi router.
By default in Ubuntu SSH server is not installed. So you have to
install the openssh package. Once you install the openssh package it
automatically enables the ssh server on your Ubuntu machine.

$ sudo apt-get install
openssh-server -y

service

restart

If you want to change the default settings, such as the default
port. edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:

To check the ssh, go to your windows machine run putty.exe
