I have an old computer that I rarely use and would like to turn it into an SSH server. I still use it occasionally, so I want to keep the desktop version of Ubuntu on it. Based on what I've read, all I have to do is install openSSH and, because I'm behind a router, I will need to forward port 22. Is that correct?
Also, on most dedicated servers the server IP address is static, but I'm guessing that the addresses on this computer are dynamic. Is there anyway to change that? And if anyone connects remotely with SSH, I'm assuming they'll have access to my entire computer. Is there a way to restrict access to a single folder? Sorry if these questions sound weird, I've never attempted anything like this before.
