I have installed Ubuntu Server on a virtual machine in VirtualBox which runs on Windows 7.
How can I connect through ssh to that virtual machine?

I go and type 'ifconfig', and i get this address "10.0.2.15". But when I try ssh 10.0.2.15 it can't establish the connection.

The easiest way is to set up the network interface of the virtual machine to "Bridged mode" in virtualbox.

You do that by selecting the virtual machine (in VB) then go to settings > network, and change the attached to dropdown from NAT to bridged

After that, you virtual machine should get an IP address of your local network (similar tot he one of the host pc) and you should be able to ssh it with that IP.
