Hi Turbocapitalist,

Before I have configure the Centos 6.3 but this server crash, so now i have configured the Ubuntu 12.10 version.

Now I am working with Ubuntu 12.10 version, so please can you guide me, how to update the openssh from 6.0 to 6.2.

Thanks,

Well first you'll have to decide what to do about the server. Ubuntu 12.10 reached end-of-life back in May of this year. Your choices there are to re-install down to 12.04, which has some time left on it, or upgrade to 14.04 which has five years. If you go with 12.04, you are stuck with the old version of OpenSSH server because there is no newer version in backports for 12.04. If you go with 14.04 that will give you OpenSSH 6.6 in the repositories.

Staying on Ubuntu 12.10 is not an option because there are no longer any updates for it.

Normally, the lifecycle of a version of Ubuntu is announced when that version is released in articles and such. However, if you pick up that version at some other time, you have to go out of your way to find that information. Here you can see 12.10 is done and 13.10 is soon over too:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

It's something that could be better communicated.
