[Cialug] Remote Access

[David Stout]

I am using Mediacom at home. I can RDP from win at work to win at home.
  I have not tried ssh at home. From work I am using putty and then for the protocol I am selecting SSH. When I do SSH it say connection refused.

  Please don't use telnet. It is good as a diagnostic tool (telnetting to 
port 80 of a web server, or 25 of an SMTP server), but not for logins. 
Well, it is OK for logins if your intention is to let the world know 
your password. That's generally not recommended, however.

This question is on the order of "Is it plugged in?", so please don't be 
offended if it seems silly...
Is SSH actually running on the Linux box? Can you connect to the Linux 
box with SSH from another machine at home?

The next possibility: What ISP are you using? Do they block inbound SSH?
