1. Check if SSH is installed:
Open a terminal window and type “which ssh” to see if SSH is installed. If it is not installed, you can install it using the package manager for your Linux distribution.
2. Check if SSH is running:
Type “service ssh status” to see if SSH is running. If it is not running, you can start it with “sudo service ssh start”.
3. Check the SSH configuration:
Type “sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config” to open the SSH configuration file. Scroll down and make sure that the line “Port 22” is uncommented (no “#” at the start of the line). This will make sure that SSH is listening on port 22.
4. Restart SSH:
Type “sudo service ssh restart” to apply the new configuration.
5. Connect to the server:
You can now connect to the server using SSH. Open a terminal window and type “ssh username@server_ip” to connect.
