How to install and start to SSH Server on Fedora Linux

SSH server may not be installed by default on your Fedora Linux box. Therefore, any attempt to connect to your box via ssh my result in:

ssh: connect to host HOST/IP port 22: Connection refused

Error message. In order to be able to connect to our FEDORA linux box using ssh we first need to install it usingyum command.

# yum install openssh-server

Once we have our SSH server installed we need to start it up:

# systemctl start sshd
