PUTTY Access Denied

[tonym]

I have three machines, two were running Debian Sarge and one Windows 98SE. I could use ssh between the Debian machines and could use PUTTY on Windows to access the other machines.

I have switched one of the Debian machines to Ubuntu. I can still ssh from the Debian machine to Ubuntu but I cannot use PUTTY to access from Windows - I just get "Access Denied". I have not been able to find anything in logs in /var/log on the Ubuntu machine and cannot find any reference to this problem anywhere on the Ubuntu site or via Google.

Can anyone suggest where else I should look.

I had this same problem. My XP machine at work running PuTTY could not connect to my server at home. I modified the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on the server and changed the 'PasswordAuthentication' variable from 'no' to 'yes'. I then ran '/etc/init.d/ssh restart' to restart the sshd server and I could then connect using PuTTY. I found a good explanation for the various authentication mechanisms on the debian forums here:

Hope this helps,

Thomas
