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.
