SSH Problems = port 22: connection refused

[peterv6]

I'm running Kubuntu 10.04 on my 17" MacBook Pro using Parallels 5.0. I can use ssh on Kubuntu to connect to the OS X operating system, but when I attempt to use ssh to connect from OS X to Kubuntu, I get the following error message:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.101 port 22: Connection refused

I do not know much about ssh, so I'm asking for help. I'd like to know how to check the status of the ssh server, and how to see if port 22 is open on Kubuntu. Any other ideas on how to get this working will be Greatly appreciated!

Re: SSH Problems = port 22: connection refused

you need to specify a user on the linux box, one that has an account there.

for example:

 ssh peterv6@192.168.1.100.101

or whatever your username is.

Re: SSH Problems = port 22: connection refused

you must install on kubuntu openssh-server and all be ok

PS. then connect: ssh [user_name_on_kubuntu]@[ip_address_kubuntu_pc]
