How do I set up remote ssh login?

Is it possible to set up an ssh account on my linux box so that I can log into it via the web? or simply over a lan from a Windoze machine? I know how to set up a ssh account, but accessing it is something I don't know how to set up.

You need to make sure sshd is running (that's the ssh daemon) and that ssh ports are open on your firewall.

ok, now where should I go to log in?

issue the command ssh -l username ipofserver from the client you wish to connect with.

For example

ssh -l n3wo 192.168.0.1

Code:

---

ssh username@hostname.domain

---

this will work also.

for windows, your best bet is probably the putty ssh client, its free and friendly.

I got putty, and am working through the configuration on the linux end. Thanks for the help, I'll get back to you in a few days with a worked/didn't work result.
