hi.. as you said.. you need SSh . It is mostly already installed in your system.
it is called sshd (simply ssh server)
Then you need to customize.. /etc/sshd_config.
See ssh man page for more help.. when u successfully configure your SSH then u can access your computer anywhere in the world by using ..
ssh ip

Make sure u know ur server's public ip. If u use windows, then u will need to use PUTTY and if u use linux just use ssh will do.

For windows SSH go here to download:

http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

For linux, just do the following:

1. In the console, type:
            ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx stands for the public ip address of ur server.
