Hello,

What error do you get? Is your SSH service running on the server? Do you have any iptables rules in place that might be blocking access? Do you have access at all to the server (ping, telnet, ...)?

Those are the first possible causes that come in mind. If you ask a question it's always good to provide as much information as possible if you want a correct answer.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Difficult to say what the problem is if you don't have access to the server. Can you find out if the SSH daemon is running? Try contacting the administrator of the server. Telnet might be disabled, if ping is working then you have basic network connectivity, so ask the admin to check the SSH service.

Kind regards,

Eric

Try to be more descriptive to save your as well as others time in asking questions

what is the exact error which you are getting?

check your iptables and selinux

Code:

#service iptables stop
#cat /etc/selinux/config
selinux=disabled

are you able to ssh any other machine on the network sucessfully?

post your sshd config file

Code:

#cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config
