Could anybody tell me the exact steps to make a secure connection from my server to my external IP address using SSH... I would like to access my Ubuntu server from other places... But securely.

The linked answer is about SFTP, which is more complicated. Configuring ssh server is much easier.

Step 1 : Install OpenSSH package if not installed

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

Step 2 : Add to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin no

Step 3 : Restart sshd service.

sudo service ssh restart

Step 4 : Generate key pair on the computer from where you want to access your machine and copy the public part to your machine:

ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa your_machine
