Plesk VPS can't ssh into container.

[DesignedByDave]

Hi There,

I'm having issues ssh'ing into my VPS container. I turned off the default plesk firewall, opened up the ports in the virtuozzo firewall.

I've tried using Putty to connect, Terminal to connect, even the SSH java web applet that comes with plesk & virtuozzo.

all 3 ssh clients return "connection refused"

I've even enabled ssh for my domains, and still returns "connection refused"

does this have to do something with my host? or my vps firewall setting? I need get root access into my VPS.

Did you checked port 22 on this server with something like:

nmap -P0 server_IP -p 22

Just go to Unix command line interface and run following command:

man nmap

Then read output carefully.

defined

nmap -P0 server_IP -p 22

nmap = network map

-PO = switches

server_IP = enter your server i.p. address

-p = switch

22 = a port number

put it all together and it looks like this

nmap -PO 74.125.47.99 -p 22

its output looks like this

nmap -PO 209.251.xxx.xxx -p 22
