SSH, or Secure Shell, is a cryptographic network protocol that allows secure remote access and data transfer between servers or computers over an unsecured network. The following blog post will cover the installation of the OpenSSH server, provide some basic SSH commands, and offer an overview of what SSH is, its purpose, and how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enabling SSH on Debian 13 is a straightforward process that typically takes around 10 minutes to complete.

This protocol uses cryptography to authenticate and encrypt connections between devices. It also allows SSH tunneling and Port forwarding for data packets to cross between networks, which would not be possible without this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SSH setup establishes encrypted remote connections between a user&#8217;s machine (computer) and a remote machine (server). The data between these two is through strong encryption which makes it difficult for outside decrypted data to get access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SSH tunneling, also known as port forwarding in networking, is a method for transferring packets across a network by encapsulating the data packets to change their destination during the journey from one machine to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remainder of this blog post will focus on the installation and configuration of the OpenSSH server, which is necessary to enable SSH on the Debian 13 operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prerequisites\"><\/span>Prerequisites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/debian-vps-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">server running Debian 13<\/a> OS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User privileges: root or non-root user with sudo privileges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-1-Update-the-system\"><\/span>Step 1. Update the system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start with the installation of the OpenSSH server, we need to update the packages to their latest available versions. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt update -y &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-OpenSSH-server\"><\/span>Step 2. Install OpenSSH server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenSSH is an open-source implementation of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. To install OpenSSH, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo apt install openssh-server -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, start and enable the SSH service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo systemctl start ssh &amp;&amp; sudo systemctl enable ssh<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the status of the server, execute the command below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo systemctl status ssh<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If everything is OK, you should receive output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# sudo systemctl status ssh\n\u25cf ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server\n     Loaded: loaded (\/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/ssh.service; enabled; preset: enabled)\n     Active: active (running) since Tue 2025-06-03 03:24:47 CDT; 5min ago\n Invocation: a056fec913714ac9bbdbbb1d2afd4095\n       Docs: man:sshd(8)\n             man:sshd_config(5)\n   Main PID: 13210 (sshd)\n      Tasks: 1 (limit: 4640)\n     Memory: 1.4M (peak: 2M)\n        CPU: 94ms\n     CGroup: \/system.slice\/ssh.service\n             \u2514\u250013210 \"sshd: \/usr\/sbin\/sshd -D [listener] 0 of 10-100 startups\"\n\nJun 03 03:24:47 host.test.vps systemd[1]: Starting ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server...\nJun 03 03:24:47 host.test.vps sshd[13210]: Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.\nJun 03 03:24:47 host.test.vps sshd[13210]: Server listening on :: port 22.\nJun 03 03:24:47 host.test.vps systemd[1]: Started ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server.\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Configure-the-SSH-Server\"><\/span>Step 3. Configure the SSH Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As shown in the status of the SSH service, it is listening on port 22. This is the default port number for the OpenSSH server, and to check this, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">netstat -tunlp | grep ssh<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# netstat -tunlp | grep ssh\ntcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:<strong>22<\/strong>              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      13210\/sshd: \/usr\/sb \ntcp6       0      0 :::<strong>22<\/strong>                   :::*                    LISTEN      13210\/sshd: \/usr\/sb\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we need to make some changes in the <strong>\/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config<\/strong> to enable password authentication and Root Login. To do that, open the <strong>\/etc\/ssh\/sshd_config<\/strong> file with your favorite editor and uncomment these lines to look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">PasswordAuthentication yes\n\nPermitRootLogin yes\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To enhance your server&#8217;s security, consider changing the default port 22 to a different port number, such as 7022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Port 7022\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the changes, close the file, and restart the SSH service for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">sudo systemctl restart ssh\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the SSH service will listen on port 7022, and to confirm this, you can execute the following command again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">netstat -tunlp | grep ssh<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get the following output:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# netstat -tunlp | grep ssh\ntcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:<strong>7022<\/strong>            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      13642\/sshd: \/usr\/sb \ntcp6       0      0 :::<strong>7022<\/strong>                 :::*                    LISTEN      13642\/sshd: \/usr\/sb\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we can open port <strong>7022<\/strong> in the firewall using the iptables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">iptables -A INPUT -s <strong>yourserverIP<\/strong>\/24 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 7022 -j ACCEPT\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To connect to the server via SSH from the command line, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ssh root@<strong>yourserverIP<\/strong> -p 7022<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it. You successfully installed and enabled the SSH service on Debian 13 OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you don\u2019t have to install OpenSSH on Debian 13 if you have difficulties and are not familiar with Linux and SSH services.
