How to enable SSH in Ubuntu.
Hi,
I would like to connect to my Virtual machine running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS inside virtualbox on a Windows 7 laptop host.
I have the IP address of the virtual machine but can't figure out how to use SSH to connect to it. I would to use either WinSCP or PuTTy to access or transfer files to the virtual machine.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much. I've been able to access my VM from WinSCP.
You can only use root, if you configure sshd to use root.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
