How can I enable SSH access to my XAMPP installation? I am using root access to attempt this. Here is the error I am getting:

ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

I do not have any firewalls or anything like that.

A sshd is not part of the XAMPP package.
(usually it's part of your operating system / distribution)

So there is no way to access xampp with ssh?

Only if you enable a sshd in your os.

BTW:

ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

If you have already a shell on this server, why want you do a local ssh?

I'm looking to test some scripts with crontab, and I want to do it through SSH.

Well, with ssh you can connect to your server over tcp and open a normal shell. But you have already a shell. So for me this does not make sense..

Apart from that, for questions about ssh you are in the wrong forum. Go to a (support) forum for your os and ask how to enable sshd.
