Currently we have been given an old server with the OS ubuntu. To work at it without always physically being there I wanted to access it with the software putty, but I haven't installed "openssh-server" and can't get it with the usual command because there is no internet connection. Is it possible to download the file on a usb stick and then somehow install it? By the way I can only work woth the terminal. If anyone knows how to solve this, I'd be really grateful.

This Q How can I install software or packages without Internet (offline)? has a crazy amount of "offline reposiory" type apps.

But if you can run an online apt-get update a basic answer would be found here (if you've got Synaptic available)

  1. Select packages to install in Synaptic
  2. File -> Generate package download script
  3. Run script on an internet-connected (linux/wget enabled) computer
  4. Take downloaded .deb files back to target computer and run sudo dpkg -i [debfiles] or sudo dpkg -i -R [dir with debfiles]

And this other answer about using "simulation" mode (apt-get -s install packagename) to see which packages to download may be helpful too, in case Synaptic isn't available. https://askubuntu.com/a/147606/129271
