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.
