How do I open port 22 in Garuda?

How do I open port 22 in Garuda? I just installed the latest XFCE version of Garuda. I’m using this computer on a home network, so I installed nmap. When I ran nmap, it reported:
PORT STATE SERVICE
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds

i know very little about firewalls, butt this looked like I needed to open port 22 to ssh into this computer.
I installed ufw and ran sudo ufw allow 22/tcp, then ufw enable and ufw status and it said port 22 is allowed from anywhere.
But when I ran nmap again, I got the same result.

How do I open port 22 in Garuda?

systemctl status sshd

Thanks so much. What a stupid mistake. I hadn't start sshd, so I just did and now the nmap shows port 22 as open.

And yes, I also ran systemctl enable sshd so it will start at boot.

Thanks again.

Sometimes it isn't what you know - but whether you can ACCESS that knowledge when you need it!. Enjoy...
