You use "ß" when you pronounce a long vowel with a sharp "s" sound afterwards. You use "ss" when you pronounce a short vowel + a sharp "s".
I believe there are exceptions to that, but this should be a good rule of thumb.

As an example, you can compare these two words:
'Fluss' (short -u- + ss)
'Fuß' (long -u- + ß)
