Qichen Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I encountered titled error when trying to ssh into my unraid server from another computer. I verified that all the ssh keys are intact, as suggested in the post below. I am very new to the Unraid/unix world so that I'm not sure what the troubleshooting steps should be. Any helps and suggestions would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment

Qichen Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Running on cmd, I got the following output OpenSSH_for_Windows_8.1p1, LibreSSL 3.0.2 debug1: Reading configuration data C:\\Users\\qcx/.ssh/config debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.207 [192.168.1.207] port 22. debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.207 port 22: Connection refused ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.207 port 22: Connection refused If instead running in wsl, I just got the single line of output that is the following OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.5, OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020 Quote Link to comment

SSH doesn’t even prompt me for the password before it terminates the process and prints out connection failed so I wasn’t able to even put in the password. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Have you done any changes to ssh behavior, like adding something to the go filed? Or post the diagnostics. Quote Link to comment
Qichen Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 I don't think I changed any ssh behavior. I'm also not sure which part of the diagnostics would be helpful so I just attached the entired zip. host-diagnostics-20220625-0512.zip Quote Link to comment

Thank you so much for the help! 2 Quote Link to comment
NotHere Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 This thread was useful to me as well. I never turned on SSH as I thought it was automatically ON. Thanks for the information. Quote Link to comment
JimboLodisC Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 For real, I'm here as well in 2024 wondering why I can't SSH or Telnet into my machine when other search results on Google say "if you don't have files or have zero byte files in config/ssh then delete them"... well I have files there, and they aren't zero bytes... and then reading that you don't need a plugin and SSH is built-in already, so you expect it to just work, right? Well, it will work after you turn SSH on in the Settings 🙃 Quote Link to comment
