[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Server 11.10 -- how do I enable remot access via Putty?
Hi, I thought I was quite experienced at administering a Ubuntu Server, but I am totally confused by the graphical desktop for Ubuntu Server 11.10. I need to be able to remotely connect to the server with Putty (my choice for remote access to servers). But how do I enable this remote access -- when I try I get a message saying network connection refused. Do I need to disable/configure a firewall? How would I do that? Hoping someone can assist.

I don't believe there is a GUI for server by default. Are you sure you used the server disk? I need to be able to remotely connect to the server with Putty (my choice for remote access to servers).

You need to install the openssh-server package on the server. You can do that during the install process by selecting SSH Server, or after the install with: sudo apt-get install openssh-server Regards, Tyler -- If we confuse dissent with disloyalty — if we deny the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox — if we deny the essence of racial equality then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our present privileged status.

Hi Alex, sudo ufw allow ssh if your using ufw firewalls on both client and server. However my guess is that the problem is likely connected to password permissions, after exchanging keys. The Ubuntu help documentation is very useful in this area : https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html John On Mon, 2012-03-12 at 17:01 +, Alexander Birchall wrote: Hi, I thought I was quite experienced at administering a Ubuntu Server, but I am totally confused by the graphical desktop for Ubuntu Server 11.10.

Anyway, you should be able to just install the openssh-server package (or when installing there should be an option to install SSH server amongst the server types).
