ERPNext pre-installed VirtualBox Image

The ERPNext pre-installed VirtualBox Image uses Elementary OS, which is a GNU Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. While perfectly adequate for basic use accessing ERPNext by a local or remote web browser, it doesn't allow remote ssh login, which is required to copy files out of the virtual machine (such as making a backup of a configured system to transfer to another server). Here are the customizations I found necessary.
