The number of ftp daemons installed makes no difference to ssh. For security reasons I would recommend that you remove them, unless youhave them properly configured and need them.
sudo aptitude install opsnssh-server
will get the ssh daemon and sftp and scp installed on your system. All of them will connect to your server through port 22.

sudo aptitude install ddclient
and configure it to update. Forward port 22 to you kubunut box.
