Look in /etc/init.d for an entry named "ssh" (or similar -- I'm running from Kanotix, not Knoppix). It's the ssh daemon. To run it once, get root and type:
/etc/init.d/ssh start
To have it run each and every time you start your hard disk installed Knoppix, try (as root):
update-rc.d ssh defaults
(I'm not 100% sure that'll work, but it ought to.)
If your home computer is behind a router that does NAT, you will probably have to open up port 22 using your router's configuration tools.

Perhaps off topic but make sure you have good passwords before starting any listening services that allow logins.
If you have trouble making one up do: apt-get install apg

remote access through ssh is quite different from remote accessing files on your machine(though they could be related). With ssh, you can only use scp/sftp(quite primitive I would say) to pass files. It is more geared towards working on your machine remotely, rather than for accessing files remotely.

As he said he's accessing it from school it probably means windows. Yes, no?
If yes, WinSCP is a handy tool for filetransfers and works with ssh. A similar linux version might be secpanel.

For your info garyng, I work using ssh all day every day but I rarely use scp or sftp to copy files. To copy files I use rsync which is a brilliant tool and will work over ssh. Rsync does differential copying so you can copy/sync huge directories/files over the internet very efficiently.

Probably the most popular ssh suite for windows is PuTTY (free software). I used PuTTY for years (until I recently dropped windows completely).
PuTTY comes with pscp.exe and psftp.exe which work fine.

Sure but WinSCP is drag 'n drop whereas pscp is CLI. That said, I prefer sftp
