So I've been trying to install an ssh server on my local machine back home for ages, I tried to ask here yesterday and so far I haven't got any results. I'm a programmer, I have a PC (the server) in our house which contains my projects, and since I can't bring it anywhere I go, I decided to install and SSH/SFTP server on it to make me compile my projects anywhere.
I installed openssh, using this guide () except for step 7.
Now I am stuck on: how do I configure it to so that I could login on it? say, on my client ssh program like connectbot (android) I could it like this myusername@remotehostIP?
I'm basically new to this matter and really need some help, thank you.
