SSH PuTTy gives "connection refused"


Hi. I am still new and learning, so try to bear with me. I am trying to login to my Linux computer using SSH, but I get a connection refused message from PuTTy on my windows machine. I can telnet no problem.

Maybe related....when I start VNCServer on my Linux computer and try and connect, no luck. refused. but VNCViewer from Linux to my windows computer works just fine.

Any suggestions?

Try running the server, /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/local/sbin/sshd, or just plain sshd, and then see if you're getting any error messages. If you do, post them here and we could help you then.

If you can't work out where your sshd is, you can use something like locate, which, or whereis, and then remember that you have to start it as root.
