Hi all. I'm running a server that runs Mandrake 9.1. I'd like to ssh into it but I don't know what port it's running on. Each time I try and ssh into it from my OS X machine here it says:

[Someone's Computer:~]gasparhe%sh gasparhe@64.252.203.224
ssh: connect to address 64.252.203.224 port 22: Connection refused

Oh and the IP is correct. I bet if I used the DNS I have assigned to it it will still not work.

What port is it running on? Would I maybe have to either activate or install SSH onto my server? Please help me with this. I'm running a filesharing server called Open DC Hub and I want to be able to administer it and its scripts remotely so I won't risk messing up its performance.

Thanks...

ssh runs on port 22 which is what yuo connected to. The chances are there is a firewall rule in place. Try temporarily disabling your firewall then try again.

Where do I check for the firewall settings?

Under the Mdk CC?

Try:
iptables -L

If you don't have a SSH server installed, you need to install one.
For example, as root, "urpmi openssh-server" should work.

OK well I installed SSH and I STILL can't log into my server from my OS X machine... I guess I can try the iptables thing... Thanks guys.
