Hans> How do I make a SSH server, and forward that port? ssh is installed when you install the base Debian system. If in doubt just do 'ssh localhost' to test, you should get a question about a unknown fingerprint, say yes, and you should get a login prompt from your system. If not, install the ssh package (apt-get install ssh). As far as forwarding goes, it depends on your switch/router. You need to forward port 22 to your machines IP from your switch.
