ssh：尝试从主机（centOS 6.5）到来宾服务器的SSH时，连接被拒绝（在oracle虚拟机上，ubuntu 15）

Question

I have setup ubuntu 15 on oracle virtual box on centOS 6.5 (host), using Bridged Network utility. When I'm login from guest server to host server using ssh, it works fine but if I am trying to login from host server to guest, it throws an error:

ssh: connect to host 10.0.41.143 port 22: Connection refused

FYI,

 Host IP:  10.0.61.49
 Guest IP: 10.0.41.143

Answer 1

Check for firewall. It could be blocking the incoming connection on port 22.

Answer 2

Thanks FreudianSlip, I had only ssh client on my guest server, but not ssh-server daemon. Installation of ssh-server, resolved the problem :)

Answer 3

Adding as an answer (copied from my comments on the OPs question) so that others may find the answer more easily. (and Hemant can mark it as correct :) )

Is the ssh daemon running on the guest?

There is a ssh client (the one you use to login from) and a ssh server - the target machine you're trying to login to .. you may have the client on the guest, but not the server (sshd)
