For simplicity, I allowed password login for root. You can also easily set up key-based login, but I am not covering this here.

Update the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to add the following.
```
PermitRootLogin yes
```
Restart the sshd service.
```
rc-service sshd restart
```
Logoff
```
myalpine:~# exit
```
You can now remote login into your Alpine Linux Virtual Machine using any SSH client. For example, if you use Command Prompt, enter the following, assuming your Virtual Machine has the IP address 192.168.1.101.
```
ssh root@192.168.1.101
```
You can also use other SSH-based tools like sftp.
