How to start SSH server?

**phpguy** · 02-05-2011

Can anyone tell me how to start an SSH server in Debian?

I believe the process name is sshd?

My box was unplugged and now when I restarted, SSH server is no longer running... I had it up and running before, but I just forgot how to start it

Try:

Code:

/etc/init.d/sshd start

Thanks!

Now, if I wanted it to automatically run on startup, how can I configure that?

I don't use Debian but a quick Google search came up with this:

SSH Quick Start Guide

Hope that helps.

Hmmm....

It seems that i can login using

Code:

ssh myuser@localhost

But I cannot login if I use my external-IP instead of localhost... Is there something I need to set up for this to work?
