SSH issue from Windows 10 to Linux machine using Putty
by swamprat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AMDA)
Greetings, I'm running Parrot Linux v4.10.
I set this Linux machine up in the computer room hoping to have users SSH into this Linux machine all users are local. The terminal in the computer room only has the operator logged on, sometimes he does logs out but the Linux machine is still running.
I have downloaded the Putty SSH client to each users Windows 10 machine and I tested one user by trying to SSH into the Linux machine using the Linux machines IP address. The Linux machine returns a message stating connection refused'.
The openssh-server is running on the Linux machine.
ps -ef |grep openssh-server
root 19007 18984 0 23:25 pts/1 00:00:00 grep openssh-server
The question then is, what should I check and where to try to find out where the Windows machine is getting a cannot connect' message in Putty back from.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
