SSH not working

[Zipster90]

For some reason my ubuntu server is not allowing me to log into it via ssh. I have openssh-server installed, but when I try to use putty on my Windows machine to ssh into it, it says the connection was refused. How do I fix this? Thanks.

post this output


netstat -tln
sudo ufw status
sudo iptables -L INPUT


Is the windows client on the same local network as the ubuntu server? Is there a firewall or router between them?

It is a blocked port either on the system that is hosting the ssh server, on the router (while you are connecting from outside), or both.

Anyway, I'm not at work now, so I'll get those results posted once I get back. Thanks.

If it is a port blocked go to http://portfoward.com and find your router then select ssh,you will find a good tutorial!!
