sshd should already be running by default on your system. You can go
to a command prompt and issue $ ps -ef | grep sshd to confirm this.
Then make sure your router allows outside connections through to port
22; you may wish to restrict the external IP address to your work IP.
At work, from a command prompt, type ssh your-home-IP-address or use a
client such as PuTTY. Remember to login not as root but as your
regular user.
