How to remote access Ubuntu box from M$ Windows box

If you are using M$ Windows OS to remote access Ubuntu, you will need to use ssh (secured shell) via putty.

If you get this "Network error: Connection refused", this means your Ubuntu box do not have any ssh server yet. So what you can do is open a terminal in Ubuntu, type the command:
apt-get install ssh openssh-server
This will install ssh server and you can do remote access from M$ Windows box. Have fun... :D
