Configure SSH Server to login to a server from remote computer.
[1] OpenSSH is already installed by default even if you installed CentOS with [Minimal Install], so it’s not necessarry to install new packages. You can login with Password Authentication by default, but change some settings for security like follows.

[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# line 38: uncomment and change (prohibit root login remotely)
PermitRootLogin no
[root@dlp ~]# systemctl restart sshd

[2] If Firewalld is running, allow SSH service. SSH uses 22/TCP port

[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --add-service=ssh --permanent
success
[root@localhost ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success
