To log into the ssh server with a password you need the following: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
1. Server running and accepting password logins - some don't accept passwords |
| 6 |
but only accept rsa/dsa keys - it depends on the setup. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
2. You can "see" the server and the ssh port from the machine you are using. |
| 9 |
Can you see the ssh port from the client? This is the first thing to check. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
3. If you are not logging in as root then your server must have an account for |
| 12 |
the username you are using (ignore anonymous complications for now). What |
| 13 |
name are you logging in as and is that user on the server? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
4. ssh can be set up to only accept logins from specified users, if this is |
| 16 |
true for your server you need to be in the list otherwise ssh will reject |
| 17 |
you. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
5. If your server has webmin you can administer the ssh server using that. It |
| 20 |
might make the configuration a bit easier for you. Try |
| 21 |
https://servername.domain:10000 and see if you get anything. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
keep persisting. |
