You will have to have sshd start up in the start up scripts, or start it
by hand each time.

In debian you can 'dpkg-reconfigure ssh' and say yes to run sshd server.

I have the same problem that outgoing ports are limited (they block 22
:-), however they don't block 21 so I have added 'port 21' to my 
/etc/ssh/sshd.conf to get sshd listening on this port as well....

You will have to specify which port to use when you start Putty.

Hope this helps,
Simon.
