ssh connection refused error

Hi,

I am trying to connect remote system with ssh and I have faced below issue. 

ssh umamahesh@123.45.67.891

ssh: connect to host 123.45.67.891 port 22: Connection refused


Here are few things that need to check while connecting to remote system.

1. Does remote system has ssh enables ?

run the below command
> 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start'

Here is the error that may rise when there was no ssh installed

sudo: /etc/init.d/ssh: command not found

so you need to install ssh first in your remote system to accept the ssh connections.

run the below command to install ssh

> sudo apt-get install openssh-server openssh-client

Now try the below command

> sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

Now it should work as ssh installed.

ThanK you,
Uma Mahesh.
