Quoting [the documentation](https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/): > As of the November 2016 release, Raspbian has the SSH server disabled by default. You will have to enable it manually. To enable SSH on machines through console: > Enter `sudo raspi-config` in the terminal, first select `advanced options`, then navigate to `ssh`, press <kbd>Enter</kbd> and select `Enable or disable ssh server`. To enable SSH for headless machines: > For headless setup, SSH can be enabled by placing a file named `ssh`, without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD card.
