I've tried to access the Ubuntu platform using SSH, SCP, and SFTP and got refused with a message. I tried service ssh restart and got:

ssh:unrecognized service

I also typed sudo ufw disable in order to disable the firewall, but it still did not let me in. How can I fix this?

Chances are you don't have ssh server installed. Use this to install it:

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

To check if it is running:

sudo service ssh status

Try that and see if you can connect to it.

You have to install openssh in order to use the SSH protocol.

On the machine you want to access, install it by running :

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Instead of disabling your firewall, allow port 22 :

sudo ufw allow 22
