I am trying to connect to a server(linux) via SSH from a windows m/c

I am trying to connect to a server(linux) via SSH from a windows m/c via putty.

I can connect to the server from my m/c using putty but when i try to do the same from another machine, i get an error.

All configs are the same. Can you please give some pointers as to what might be the issue.

Note: I am able to do an FTP(port 21) to the same server via WinSCP on both machines. It’s just putty which is not doing SSH on the other m/c. It’s fine on my m/c.

Any directions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

    Can you log in with WinSCP via SFTP/SCP? If not, then the server might be firewalled against that other machine. Or maybe the two machines are connected to the server with different interfaces and SSH is configured to only listen to one of them. Check the firewall on the server and, for good measure, the firewall on your client.
