Title: [SOLVED] Cannot conect to remote server via ssh
Post by: crazybob on July 26, 2016, 04:06:46 PM

When I attempt to connect to a remote sever from my local server via ssh, it fails.
I am able to do this with other remote sme servers. I am able to connect with putty, or Winscp.
Need to know what to look at
TIA

What do you mean by "it fails" ?

It just times out, no connection established.

So either your sshd isn't running, or not on the port you're trying, or there's a firewall dropping the packets. There's no outbound firewall so, it'd be the inbound firewall of the remote server. Hard to tell without knowing more about your configuration

it appears there is some kind of issue between my local server, and that remote server only. I can shh to other remote servers, and the remote server can ssh to other remote servers, just not my local server.

It is now functioning.
The server i was trying to ssh from is behind another server/gateway server. I had entered the name of remote computer in the host name and addresses in the gateway computer. when I removed the entry, things started working.

Thanks
