Ubuntu Desktop Server SSH - ssh: connect to host ****** port 22: Connection refused

OpenSSH is the premier connectivity tool for remote login with the SSH protocol. It encrypts all traffic to eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. In addition, OpenSSH provides a large suite of secure tunneling capabilities, several authentication methods, and sophisticated configuration options.

eavesdrop ['iːvzdrɒp]：n. 屋檐上流下来的水 vi. 偷听，窃听
hijack ['haɪdʒæk]：vt. 抢劫，揩油 vi. 拦路抢劫 n. 劫持，威逼，敲诈
premier [ˈpremiə(r)]：n. 总理，地区总理 adj. 首要的，最著名的，最成功的，第一的
tunnel ['tʌn(ə)l]：n. 隧道，地道，地下通道，(动物的) 洞穴通道，隧道，地道，坑道，风洞，隧道，地道，坑道，烟道 v. 在 ... 凿隧道，凿隧道通过，运过坑道 进隧道，在 ... 凿隧道，凿隧道通过，运过坑道进隧道，开凿隧道，挖地道

1. ssh: connect to host ****** port 22: Connection refused

ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.56 port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

strong@foreverstrong:~$ ssh IBM@192.168.2.56
ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.56 port 22: Connection refused
strong@foreverstrong:~$

IBM@IBM-computer:~$ ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
IBM@IBM-computer:~$

2. 判断是否安装 ssh 服务

Ubuntu 默认并没有安装 ssh 服务，如果通过 ssh 连接 Ubuntu，需要手动安装 openssh-server。

IBM@IBM-computer:~$ ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
IBM@IBM-computer:~$ 
IBM@IBM-computer:~$ ps -e | grep ssh
IBM@IBM-computer:~$

3. 安装 openssh-server

用 ps -e | grep ssh 命令来看下，openssh-server 安装上去没有。

IBM@IBM-computer:~$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[sudo] password for IBM:

ssh 服务开启，启动 ssh 服务：

sudo service sshd start
sudo service sshd restart

ssh localhost 命令用来连接本机，ssh username@hostname(or IP)
由于默认关闭了 ssh 服务，连接无法建立，第一次连接需要手动输入 yes，才能建立连接。
