In the last installment, I covered what was done to install LAMP on the server. But remember that we did not install SSH. Why is SSH important? It allows us to remotely connect to the server using tools such as PuTTY, so that we can execute commands, install software, etc.

The command is simple:

sudo aptitude install openssh-server

Installing an SSH client? PuTTY:

sudo aptitude install putty

I decided to install the SSH Server via aptitude after LAMP, because I found out (the first time I did this) that updating the SSH Server would cause me to have to update the certificates as well. Doing it this way, saves me extra steps.

Needless to say, this step was very simple, but very powerful in that it allows me to manage the server remotely, in comfort. :)
