SSH access from Settings app

Just installed Zorin 18 Pro. The Settings app has the option to enable remote access via SSH. Enabling it doesn't seem to work - remote access to the Zorin machine doesn't work and the toggle switch has defaulted back to disabled on reopening that function. Known bug?

Hi and welcome.

Have you checked out these settings?

While I was doing this in a VM of Z18 Core it said that it had changed to port 3390 as it needed a higher priority but the displayed port remains at 3389.

If still having issues, as you have purchased Pro version I would raise a ticket with Team Zorin via here:

I had the same problem. The toggle is turned back off after you close the window.

I had to enable it via command line:

1. Install the SSH server
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y openssh-server

2. Enable & start it
sudo systemctl enable --now ssh

3. Confirm it's listening
sudo systemctl status ssh
ss -tlnp | grep :22

4. From the other computer, connect
ssh your_username@<this-pc-ip>
