On your linux box, you have changed the port for ssh from 22 to 2222
To see if the connection works locally, open a terminal on the server and type
To connect from the windows computer, start putty
set the port to 2222 and connect to the ip from the linux computer
If you want to ssh from a linux computer to another linux computer, open a terminal and type
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip from the linux server
If you can't connect, make sure the ssh daemon is running on the server, and the firewall allows connections to port 2222

Kind regards

to use putty will be very simple.If boh computers on the network are linux then ssh will be ideal.
I have sean the file in /etc/ssh/ssh_conf but i does know how to use it.in my enviroment i am using fedora as well on client side.

What is the problem?
What doesn't work?
What do you want to do?

Kind regards

like repo says, install open-ssh onto yr linux machine - he left a link for the howto, it'l be something like:

apt-get install open-ssh

put putty on the windows box and run putty to access the linux box. It'l just give you a prompt and you can do yr banter, init


If your accessing from outside your network (through the internet) I'd thoroughly reccommend installing fail2ban too. It'l make your machine a lot safer.

dont be afraid to jump in and just do it, apt-get makes it easy to 'undo' things in linux. just use it as much as poss, try not to download apps from the web and you'll be sound in no time

Good luck!

very good guidance.there is sshd file as well.it use public and private keys.public key reside on the server where as private is uses by the end user.The private key is always keep secret.
How to use sshd and in which situations we use sshd instead of ssh?
Thanks

i am thanks repo for yoir guidance.well things works fine and iam glad to work.
But when i explore ssh diir i found ,many questions in my mind especially sshd.these r new things.thanks again many many times for the superb guidance.

sshd is the daemon of the ssh server, which runs on the receiving machine
It will listen on port 22 for any connections
ssh is the protocol used to connect, like ftp etc

putty/openssh should work
note that if in the future you do want remote desktop type capabilities you could add either vnc or Xming
