IMHO he needs the SSH server on the Linux box if that's the one he's trying to connect to and the SSH client on his PC (remote client). I didn't not misread it, I tried to give what he needed to do to accomplish the goal of a secure connection. Then again, I'm not an "expert" on this, just relating from my setup.
Still, I have not seen documentation that indicates that if I have SSH Server & Client on my PC, I can securely connect to any other PC. If that were feasible, we would never need SSH server running on any server only on the clients trying to connect to them.
