Putty Connection Problem

Hi all, I've installed the dapper drake server by following the HOWTO. The problem I'm having is that I can't connect through putty from my windows box to my linux box. It says Connection Refused. I've rechecked everything and I can't seem to figure it out. Help would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks for the reply till, but the problem seems to have cleared up. I'm not sure what I did, but I tried in desperation again to putty into my linux box and it worked. Surprisingly, it continues to work. In any case, this still might be a good learning experience for me and whoever else has this problem, so let's see what's in the file:

tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 4118/sshd
tcp6 0 52 msb.hvc.rr.com:ssh ::ffff:192.168.1.1:1299 ESTABLISHED8746/sshd: admin [p

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)

ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp

Hi Till same thing on my setup.. I got me a nice dual pent 3 blade server and so I love debian 3.1 loaded right up but cant puddy or winSCP3 in.?? and cant figure out whats up?.. I've loaded this disk/system before with no troubles ..anyway I did the above commands

tcp 0 0 localhost.localdom:smtp *:* LISTEN 1
800/exim4

the grep ssh just kinda froze everything..
and iptables..

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination


Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

I did not see ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ftp
on mine like he had on his.. how do I fix that Till?

 

one thing i found thats i hate about the ubuntu system is that there is no ssh installed by default

so i guess thats ur problem there

but to fix it
log in
and do
sudo apt-get install ssh
or is it openssh
its something like that the package is called
to install the ssh server on the box
once installed
you should have ssh / winscp3 back again

i think thats all ur problem is
sorry if you had got that installed already

Thanks..

I had to jump thru a few hoops..

for those following or having the same troubles..

I tried the
apt-get install openssh it said no but gave me instructions to go foward..

I did this
apt-get install -f
that installed a few things then
apt-get install openssh-client
which installed..
then
apt-get install openssh-server
which installed..
tada

all fixed
