 The SSH Daemon needs to have a configuration file which controls many of the ways it functions.  On a Linux computer, it is located at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and can be edited and saved with any text editor.

 SSH, short for "Secure Shell", is a text mode method of remotely logging into another computer "securely", meaning, all traffic in both directions are encrypted and require encryption "keys" in order to decrypt the data being transmitted.  Other applications can also be "tunneled" through an "SSH-Tunnel" to encapsulate and encrypt the data being sent using those apps.
-Secure Shell is most often used for administrative purposes of remote computer servers which are known as "headless" machines, which have no direct monitor, keyboard and/or mouse directly connected to them.  It is also a must-use tool for administering computers which have no "GUI", a Graphical User Interface, such as the traditional Windows and MAC end-user PC's.  These machine are managed using command-line commands only, for the most part, though larges strides are being made all the time to use web-based interfaces to manage computer systems, such as the Linux Cockpit tool, or Windows WAC, the Windows Admin Center.  Both Linux and Windows servers are managed from the command line through an SSH connection, as best practice, regardless of the underlying OS.  This is why Secure Shell is so important.

-SSH needs both a "Server" and "Client" to function.  The SSH Server, otherwise known as the SSH Daemon (SSHD), is what handles connections to the server is is running on.  You need to use a SSH client to connect to that server.  There are hundreds, along with it being built into the command line shell on most Linux and even Windows computers these days.  If the feature is not enabled, it's very easy to enable it.  I will provide instructions on doing so for all operating systems later one.
