No, I don't have the fire wall configured at all. During setup I chose not to use it.
sshd is on and ok. what are the seven column when I do chconfig?
I have downloaded puTTY onto my Win 98 machine but I still can not access the server.
These are the steps I followed:
double-click on putty.exe.
Under Connection, choose ssh. preferred ssh protocol is ssh2.
entered private ip address, the machines are on the same network (is private ip a
problem)??
Choose protocol ssh.
Choose Open.
If I choose
close window on exit: never
I get "connection closed by remote host".
If I choose
close window on exit: only on clean exit
the window flashes for a about half a second and goes away.
Is downloading puTTY all I have to do or do I need to set up some sort of connection
between the server's ssh and the client's puTTY, a key or something?
Bastille has also been installed and ran but unfortunately I don't know what was
turned off.
