In this video we review the necessary steps to set up an Ubuntu server for a remote ssh connection and how to connect to it remotely. We look at 2 different methods of connecting remotely.  WSL (Windows Sub System For Linux) and Putty.  From a Linux host you can just launch the terminal.

The commands used in this setup are as follows:

On the host (Ubuntu server):

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get upgrade
3. sudo apt-get install ssh

On the ssh client (In a terminal or WSL)

1. ssh username@host (IP  or hostname)

If you are using putty the you will configure the GUI with at least the minimum settings seen below:

 You should now be at the login prompt and be able to log in as the primary user from your Ubuntu server. Using this method is fine in your in a LAN but if you are connecting to a server outside of your LAN, there are several other security steps you will want to take.
