no sir! The sshd acts as the server the 'ssh' acts as the client. You
must have a ssh client to ssh into a sshd server is all;-)

The servers you wish to access securely use sshd listening for connection
requests. It forks itself out to serve ssh clients that are requiring access.
Any box you wish to ssh FROM: needs to have a SSH CLIENT.

read and do:
ssh-keygen
