Looks like your ssh client tries to connect to TCP port 50022, while the ssh server is listening on port 22 (the standard for ssh). The non-standard port may be set up on the command line or in a config file: $HOME/.ssh/config /etc/ssh/ssh_config Check on the server machine if the ssh server is listening: netstat -ntl | grep 22 If this doesn't help, please post the commands you typed and their output.
