The server is a SSH server. It comes preinstalled with any Linux Distro. It allows for secure server administration. Its a good idea to change your SSH server port to a non standard port. That will stop many hack attempts on the server. Never enable telnet, it is a insecure service. If anyone intercepts your connection, they could see every command and password you put into the server.
