SSH Server

[TheRayTracer]

I would like to install (if not already) the ability to log into my new Kubuntu machine via SSH (or even telnet). I think I need to install SSH Server?

So I tried the following to no avail:

sudo apt-get install telnetd

sudo apt-get install ssh-server

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

With errors such as "Couldn't find package ..."

Any advice or help? Thanks in advance!

Re: SSH Server

Cranking up my GUI package manager (Synaptic, but Adept works as well). I click on Search By Name "ssh". Among other things, I find "openssh-client" and "openssh-server". If I hadn't installed them already, I would then cllck on the names, choose install and be up and running sftp and ssh a few minutes later.

I don't understand why you were unable to install with the correct name. You should have succeeded with "telnetd", as well (even though, it's not a recommended package). Can you post the error message that you receive from the command "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"?
