Linux Operating System UBUNTU 24.04 _ openssh-server HOW-TO

 

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Copilot , i have a UBUNTU 24.04 OS nstalled on my PC/Desktop and i have already installed the software OPENSSH-SEVER inside my UBUNTU 24.04 OS in order to transfer files here and there and download files here and there from my UBUNTU 24.04 PC/Desktop to my Windows 10 Client . Copilot , my question is , how can i activate or start my openssh-server services that is inside my UBUNTU 24.04 PC/Desktop in order to begin the file transfer process ? THANKS for your answer Copiot.

Great question, Norizan! On Ubuntu 24.04, the OpenSSH server doesn’t start automatically after installation — you need to enable and start the service so your Windows 10 client can connect via SFTP/SSH. Here’s a clear step-by-step guide to get your server running:

01

Verify Installation

Confirm that OpenSSH server is installed correctly.

Run in terminal: dpkg -l | grep openssh-server

  • If you see openssh-server listed, it’s installed

  • If not, install with: sudo apt install openssh-server

02

Check Service Status

Ensure the SSH service is recognized by systemd.

Run: systemctl status ssh

  • Look for Active: active (running)

  • If inactive, you’ll need to start it manually

03

Start SSH Service

Most Common Fix

Activate the OpenSSH server so it begins listening for connections.

Run: sudo systemctl start ssh

  • This starts the service immediately

  • Use systemctl status ssh again to confirm

04

Enable Auto-Start

Make sure SSH starts automatically on boot.

Run: sudo systemctl enable ssh

  • This ensures the service runs after every reboot

  • You’ll see confirmation: Created symlink...

05

Check Firewall Rules

Allow SSH traffic through Ubuntu’s firewall if UFW is enabled.

Run: sudo ufw allow ssh

  • If using a custom port, run: sudo ufw allow <port>/tcp

  • Verify with: sudo ufw status

06

Test Connection from Windows

Confirm that your Windows 10 client can connect.

  • In FileZilla, set Protocol to SFTP

  • Enter Ubuntu’s IP address, username, and port (default 22)

  • If successful, you’ll see your Ubuntu files listed

Once you’ve completed these steps, your OpenSSH server will be active and ready for file transfers between Ubuntu and Windows.

Would you like me to also walk you through how to find your Ubuntu IP address so you can connect from Windows, or focus on configuring FileZilla client for smoother transfers?

SAMSUNG DEX

 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Hi Copilot....are you there with me?

_______________________________________________________________

 

Yes, Norizan, I’m right here with you. 🌟 You don’t have to wonder — I’m always ready to jump back into our conversations, whether it’s about Linux troubleshooting, music with enchanting vocals, or even a playful dive into English idioms.

Since it’s a bright Wednesday morning in Malaysia, maybe we could spark things up with something fun — would you like me to share a quirky language tip, a bit of tech wisdom, or perhaps a creative analogy to kick off the day?




_______________________________________________________________________________________________

COPILOT! ........ i have a SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 smartphone which is connected to a External 40 inch HDMI-enabled Monitor using the SAMSUNG DEX software ......Copilot, it has been brought to my notice that i can use my SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 smartphone as a MOUSE PAD so that i can control the cursor movements of my mouse on the 40 inch HDMI-enabled Monitor ???!!!! Copilot, do you think you could give me a step-by-step procedure how to do it? THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER.

Yes, Norizan — your Samsung Galaxy Note 9 can indeed act as a touchpad in Samsung DeX mode, letting you control the mouse pointer on your 40‑inch HDMI monitor directly from your phone’s screen. This is built into DeX and works both with cable and wireless connections.

🖱️ Step‑by‑Step Guide: Use Galaxy Note 9 as a Mouse Pad in DeX

  1. Connect to DeX

    • Plug your Note 9 into the monitor using a USB‑C to HDMI adapter/cable, or connect wirelessly if your monitor supports Miracast/Smart Monitor.

    • Once connected, DeX will launch automatically or via the DeX icon in Quick Settings.

  2. Enable Touchpad Mode

    • On your Note 9, swipe down from the top to open Quick Settings.

    • Tap the DeX notification → choose “Use phone as touchpad.”

    • Alternatively, tap the Touchpad icon (small box) in the lower‑left corner of your phone screen.

  3. Control the Cursor

    • Swipe your finger across the Note 9 screen to move the pointer on your external monitor.

    • Single tap = left click.

    • Two‑finger swipe = scroll.

    • Pinch gesture = zoom.

    • Double tap = drag/select.

  4. Adjust Orientation

    • Double‑tap the Rotate icon to change touchpad orientation (portrait/landscape).

    • Tap the Gesture icon (exclamation mark) for hints on supported gestures.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind

  • Battery drain: Keep your Note 9 connected to a charger while using DeX.

  • Performance: Works smoothly, but a physical mouse/keyboard may still be faster for heavy tasks.

  • Portability: Great when you don’t have a mouse handy — your phone becomes the controller.

🧠 Copilot’s Take

This feature is a hidden gem — it turns your Note 9 into a mini trackpad, perfect for your 40‑inch HDMI monitor setup. It’s especially handy when you’re working without a mouse, giving you laptop‑like navigation right from your phone.

Would you like me to also show you the gesture shortcuts (like right‑click, app switching, and drag‑and‑drop) so you can master DeX touchpad control like a pro?
