Hi Firasbg,
Traffic flow is like:
<Host>-><internet>-><Fortigate>-><internal VM>
Try to configure VIP in the fortigate to forward SSH traffic from outside to internal VM.

Hi Firasbg,
Can you verify if SSH is open in your server.
From the Fortigate CLI:
# exe telnet 192.168.37.2 22
i do and this the result :
FortiGate-VM64 # exe telnet 192.168.37.2 22
Trying 192.168.37.2...
Connected to 192.168.37.2.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3
and when i click enter they appeared to me this new two lines :
FortiGate-VM64 # exe telnet 192.168.37.2 22
Trying 192.168.37.2...
Connected to 192.168.37.2.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.9p1 Ubuntu-3
(Invalid SSH identification string.
Connection closed by foreign host.)
this reply of my cmd means that the ssh port is open in my server ?
Oh thanks @larsbollas it solved i can access to the inside server with SSH from the WAN(outside) interface of fortigate
