This is a rather broad question. What are you trying to tunnel with ssh? Here's a good rundown of the basics of ssh tunnelling:

Essentially, just run the following command


sudo apt-get install ssh


Then you can connect from anywhere using the following command:

ssh [username]@[I.P. address or hostname]


But you will probably want to refer to the lighted path (http://ubuntuguide.org/#sshserver) for more information
