By default, Ubuntu installed without SSH and Telnet server. To make Ubuntu can be accessed remotely using SSH/Telnet protocol, we must install SSH server and Telnet server. To install SSH server simply by run this command :
tedy@tedy-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
See the following detail :

To install Telnet server we can execute this command :
tedy@tedy-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install telnetd

After install the Telnet server, we must reboot the server first. To test Telnet connection to my Linux server, I used MS Dos Prompt (Windows XP support Telnet protocol but no SSH client inside that).
To test access the SSH server installed on my Ubuntu server, I used Putty. See the examples below :
So right now, I can access my Ubuntu server remotely. For your informations, the commands apt-get install will automatically installed some other dependency files. Of course, we must have access to the Ubuntu repository (on DVD or over network to the repository server) 😀
