4 Ways to Enable an SSH Server on a Raspberry Pi

In this video I take a look at 4 ways to enable an SSH Server on a Raspberry Pi. This would allow you to connect to a Raspberry Pi from another computer using SSH. This also allows you to copy files from a computer to the Raspberry Pi using scp.

Create an Empty ssh File on the Boot Partition (on a Raspberry Pi)
sudo touch /boot/ssh
Reboot Raspberry Pi
systemctl reboot
Open Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool
sudo raspi-config
Check for sshd Process
ps ax | grep 'ssh'
Enable SSH Server on Boot
sudo systemctl enable ssh
Start SSH Server
sudo systemctl enable ssh
Stop SSH Server
sudo systemctl stop ssh
Disable SSH Server on Boot
sudo systemctl disable ssh
View Status of SSH Service
sudo systemctl status ssh
SSH to the Raspberry Pi while on the Raspberry Pi
ssh localhost
SSH to the Raspberry Pi from other Machine
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local

or

ssh pi@ip_address_of_pi
Install OpenSSH Server (if needed)
sudo apt install openssh-server
