WSL Tutorial (3) Configuring SSH and Desktop Environment

1. Install SSH

WSL's Ubuntu does not seem to have an automatic SSH service, which needs to be installed:

1

sudo apt install openssh-server

2. Configure SSH

After the installation is complete, the SSH port can be modified:

1

sudo sed -i '/Port /c Port 2222' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

That is, change the port to 2222. If you are really not used to the command line, you can use the pagoda to modify it.
