    Install SSH Server on Ubuntu 14.04

    In order to install SSH server on Ubuntu, you need to install OpenSSH server package. Use the following command to setup SSH server:

    sudo apt-get install openssh-server

    Configure SSH Server

    After installation is done, edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Take the backup first by typing:

    sudo cp -a /etc/ssh/sshd_config /etc/ssh/sshd_config_backup

    Now edit the file using command:

    sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

    Edit the following

    # ports, IPs and protocols
    Port 2122

    Now for more security edit the following:

    Set PermitRootLogin to no so that there is no root login allowed

    # Authentication:
    LoginGraceTime 120
    PermitRootLogin no

    Now allow users to access the system remotely by adding to sshd_config file at the end of the file by writing following command:

    AllowUsers user1 user2

    Replace user1 and user2 with your actual usernames.

    Now restart the service by typing:

    sudo service ssh restart

    Finally ssh server is installed on Ubuntu.

    Thanks for reading the blog.
