by Check if sshd service is running in Ubuntu with the below command:
vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ ps aux | grep ssh vbhadra 1702 0.0 0.0 4088 204 ? Ss 11:49 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session --session=ubuntu vbhadra 4358 0.0 0.0 4400 824 pts/3 S+ 14:10 0:00 grep --color=auto ssh vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ sudo netstat -natp | grep sshd vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ sudo netstat -natp | grep ssh vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$
The above command and their output shows there is no sshd service running on my Ubuntu Linux.
Now to install sshd (open ssh) in your system use the below command in Ubuntu Linux:
vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

As this point the open-ssh has been installed in your system. You can now check if the service is up and running yet with the below set of commands:
vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ sudo netstat -natp | grep ssh tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5043/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 5043/sshd vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ sudo netstat -natp | grep sshd tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5043/sshd tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 5043/sshd vbhadra@vbhadra-VirtualBox:~$ ps aux | grep ssh vbhadra 1702 0.0 0.0 4088 204 ?
