I am not able to SSH to Raspberry Pi 3 from Putty. I can ping the 192.168.137.1 IP address assigned by sharing Internet connection.
The problem I realized that SSH is not enabled by default in Pi3 and saw the posts which suggest to enable SSH by creating 'ssh' file inside /boot folder. I got the SD card which has pre-installed Noobs so when I open SD card it shows only /recovery folder. How to enable SSH in this case ? Please help to resolve it .
Enable SSH like:
documentation
Or start it manually sudo service ssh start - note that manual option will require startup scrip to run at each startup.
Additional settings like port configuration should be done insshd_config. Do it with your favorite editor sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Anyway your post should be opened at raspberry forum not at SO...
you can take a look at this thread
How can I get connection with Raspberry without access of its shell?
it mentions about PiBakery which will install rasbian with ssh support. by default ssh is disabled but this might help.

I am currently trying to code an application for a macOS to control an Arduino. To do this I need to be able to access telnet and send string commands to it. Any ideas on how to do so?
telnet is insecure, inflexible and out of fashion - folks use ssh now. There is no longer even a telnet client in High Sierra.
Create an empty file called ssh in the partition of your SD card called boot to get in the first time. Then ssh in with:
ssh pi#<RASPI-IP-ADDRESS>
and password raspberry.
Then use:
sudo raspi-config
to enable ssh for future boots.
I am trying to use rsub to create tunnel in ssh to sublime text, I run the command rmate .profile but i get the following response. I am using wateroof to open the ports 52968 on 1p4 and ip6, I followed the insturctions here and its just not working
I am running osx on my local machine and ubuntu 12.04 on my remote machine I am ssh into on digitalocean
root#anderskitson:~# rmate .profile
/usr/local/bin/rmate: connect: Connection refused
/usr/local/bin/rmate: line 186: /dev/tcp/localhost/52698: Connection refused
Unable to connect to TextMate on localhost:52698
I was having the same problem.
Let remoteHost = the IP or hostname of the machine you're attempting to ssh to.
I ran ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 remoteHost from my local machine, after whice rmate .profile on remoteHost worked.
That led me to determine that ~/.ssh/config on my local machine was incorrect.
I set ~/.ssh/config to look like this:
Host remoteHost
RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
It's been working solidly since I made that change.
For anyone getting this same error using PuTTy on Windows, this commenter gives great instructions:
In PuTTy's config window, nagivate to the Connection > SSH > Tunnels pane
In the "Source Port" field, type 52698
In the "Destination" field, type 127.0.0.1:52698
Select the "Remote" and "Auto" radio buttons
Click the "Add" button
Go to the Session pane and save if you want to preserve these settings.
Here's an image which does the explaining visually:
I had the same issue and here is what works for me. If you have multiple servers you want this to work for, do the following as exactly shown here:
Host *
RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
I consulted this link: configure SSH config file and realized you can use * in config file.
Wildcards are also available to allow for options that should have a
broader scope.
I was trying to set this up for the first time using VS Code and got the generic "Connection refused" error even though my configuration seemed fine. It turned out to be because I hadn't reloaded the IDE after installing the rmate extension (Remote VSCode). Make sure that the rmate server is active on your local machine, whatever IDE you're using.
I had the same problem and fixed with replacing the HOSTNAME with the actual IP-Address when connecting:
e.g.: ssh pi#raspberrypi.local to ssh pi#192.168.1.1
I had the same problem and gone through most of the blogs, I did everything that was told.
At last, I found myself that textmate or submile editors are closed(force quit), this caused the problem.
For example my SSH config ~/.ssh/config file to connect with DigitalOcean with Remote Forward looks like:
Host DigitalOcean
Hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
User username
RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
and is called in a terminal
ssh DigitalOcean
rmate then connects fine with my local Atom editor
rmate stopped working for no apparent reason. Turns out I had tripped the 'man in the middle' check. I saw this warning when doing ssh --
\###########################################################
# WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! #
###########################################################
In my case, this warning was expected so I ignored it. This may not apply for you, so verify host identity. Didn't realize this line at the end of the warning --
Port forwarding is disabled to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.
No wonder rmate stopped working. Verifying host identity and then clearing out offending entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts made the warning go away and rmate started working again.
I run into this issue occasionally, and at least for my setup (which might be quite particular), I have found that killing zombie instances of ssh sessions does the job.
My particular setup :
I run Linux through a VM (VMWare Fusion) on my OSX host. Then I ssh into the the Linux host from OSX, and launch sublime from the Linux side. I usually have several ssh sessions running.
I recently rebooted my Mac (without first shutting down the VM, which was probably bad), and once I got back into the VM, was unable to launch Sublime - got the "connection refused" error mentioned by the OP.
So I did a ps aux on the Linux side, and looked for all instances of :
root 657399 0.0 0.1 13956 9332 ? Ss 14:52 0:00 sshd: user [priv]
user 657461 0.0 0.0 14088 5420 ? S 14:52 0:00 sshd: user#pts/1
(where user is my username). I killed the user jobs, e.g. 657461 above, and Voila! Every thing works now. Of course, in the process of killing these jobs, you are likely to kill the ssh session you are currently in, so you will have to log back into your session.
This might not work for users who don't have the necessary kill privileges on their remote machine, so don't know how useful this is, but thought I would put it out there.
I am trying to open port 22 on osx so I can connect to localhost using ssh. This is my current situation:
ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
I have generated a key and tossed it into my authorized_keys file like so:
sh-keygen -t dsa -P '' -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
A "Network Utility" port scan confirms that 22 (and surprisingly 23) are closed.
Context: I am working on getting Hadoop set up locally. In my configuration, I am running services on localhost:####s and need to open communications to them via ssh.
How can I open 22? or could I be up against another issue (improperly generated key perhaps?)
I think your port is probably open, but you don't have anything that listens on it.
The Apple Mac OS X operating system has SSH installed by default but
the SSH daemon is not enabled. This means you can’t login remotely or
do remote copies until you enable it.
To enable it, go to ‘System Preferences’. Under ‘Internet & Networking’ there is a ‘Sharing’ icon. Run that. In the list
that appears, check the ‘Remote Login’ option. In OS X Yosemite and up, there is no longer an 'Internet & Networking' menu; it was moved to Accounts. The Sharing menu now has its own icon on the main System Preferences menu. (thx #AstroCB)
This starts the SSH daemon immediately and you can remotely login
using your username. The ‘Sharing’ window shows at the bottom the name
and IP address to use. You can also find this out using ‘whoami’ and
‘ifconfig’ from the Terminal application.
These instructions are copied from Enable SSH in Mac OS X, but I wanted to make sure they won't go away and to provide quick access.
I'm using OSX 10.11.6 and this article works for me.
There are 3 solutions available for these.
1) Enable remote login using below command
- sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on
2) In Mac, go to System Preference -> Sharing -> enable Remote Login
that's it. 100% working solution
3) Final and most important solution is - Check your private area network connection . Sometime remote login isn't allow inside the local area network.
Kindly try to connect your machine using personal network like mobile network, Hotspot etc.
If you try to enable remote login from a terminal window, you may get a "full disk permission issue". Alternatively, You can enable it from Apple Icon -> System Preferences -> Sharing
I am using Mac-bigSur and this is how I enable it on my machine
You can allow access to specific users also.
As per macOS 10.14.5, below are the details:
Go to
system preferences > sharing > remote login.
I couldn't solve the problem; Then I did the following and the issue was resolved:
Refer here:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
(Supply your password when it is requested)
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
ssh -v localhost
sudo launchctl list | grep "sshd"

I just figured how to connect to my webhost with PuTTy .
But how to I connect to my localhost? I put
Servername: localhost
port: 22 (I've tried 80 too)
And it gives me an error "failed to connect"
How do I connect?
If you are using Cygwin on your local host, you can connect to Cygwin's sshd (SSH Daemon).
3 easy commands to install the sshd as a service: (always there when you startup the machine)
$ ssh-host-config -y # enable sshd. "-y" answers yes to all queries.
$ cygrunsrv --start sshd # start it as an autostart Windows service
$ ssh localhost # try to recursively log in via ssh
Taken from: http://nfnaaron.posterous.com/tag/puttycyg#Section2
(The second approach)
=> You get the entire ssh infrastructure: public key authentication, ssh-agent, etc...
Ensure that you have running a SSH server (such as openssh-server) running on localhost and not just a web server (such as apache). Also ensure, that localhost is really mapping to 127.0.0.0/8
The solution in the answer above won't work unless you have installed Cygwin with the OpenSSH package selected - you have to do this manually during the installation process (see option a below).
Depending on the intended purpose of your connection you can try one of the options below, option (b) being much easier to install but lacking the *nix shell capabilities.
a. You can install a Cygwin shell with ssh server, this site (http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~kscully/CygwinSSHD_W2K3.html) has instructions for Windows Server but they work for other Windows too with may be some of the questions shown in the output on the page not appearing on non-server version of Windows. Also, where it says in the instructions to issue the command:
mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /
delete the -s option so that the command is
mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /
(at least this was the case for me on Windows 7).
b. PuTTy site suggests WinSSHD (http://www.bitvise.com/winsshd-download). It's an easy self-installer. Once it's up you have to click onthe StartSSHD link about 1/3rd of the screen down on the first page of the config window. Then you can connect your PuTTy to localhost. However, in my experience, it didn't provide any *nix command support, only the native Windows ones and I couldn't find anything in their user guide on this.
Hope this helps.
Just adding this answer in case anyone is still looking for a solution.
In your hostname (or IP address) section, enter localhost or 127.0.0.1
Leave the port to its default value 22
Click on open
Now a login shell will popup -
Log in as your username, your username is basically what you get when you type whoami in your Terminal.
In the password section, type the password that you use as your system's password.
The above steps should connect localhost with ssh(PuTTY)
I am having an issue with SSH hanging on my Mac Book Pro. This only happens to me once I get home from work after I have used SSH while at work. The three factors I have narrowed the issue down to are SSH, our work AFS network drive and the method of network connectivity.
At work we use an AFS drive with Kerberos Authentication to do all of our software development work on. I authenticate with Kerberos in order to gain access to the AFS drive where all my source code lives, but I open a local editor (Eclipse) which references the files on the AFS drive. Whenever I need to compile my code, I SSH in to my development server (which is also authenticated to the AFS drive) and compile from there. (Sanity Note: I know that it is a super wacky setup, but I promise I had NOTHING to do with it. I'm just making do with what I've got.)
For my Network Preferences, I use the Automatic location all the time. For that configuration I have Built-in Ethernet en1 configured to use DHCP and our company's DNS server for when I'm at work (there is no wireless available). When I go home I connect to my home network via wireless, again using DHCP.
I have a hunch that the AFS connection/Ethernet configuration is somehow the culprit here. Restarting the SSH daemon doesn't correct the problem. The only way I have found to correct the issue is by restarting the computer each time I want to use SSH. Keep in mind that I have no other (known) networking issues while at home after I've had the laptop at work.
I have a co-worker who has reported to me the same issue on his MBP.
I'm truly stumped on this one. Please provide some guidance. Thanks!
Can you be more specific about "SSH hanging"?
It sounds like your ssh client hangs after losing the connection and you are unable to do anything in the terminal. To get around this, you can use the ssh escape character (default: ‘~’) to begin an escape sequence, and use the the '.' to terminate the connection.
You can get a list of other ssh escape sequences using ~?, here's the one for OpenSSH SSH client:
Supported escape sequences:
~. - terminate connection
~B - send a BREAK to the remote system
~C - open a command line
~R - Request rekey (SSH protocol 2 only)
~^Z - suspend ssh
~# - list forwarded connections
~& - background ssh (when waiting for connections to terminate)
~? - this message
~~ - send the escape character by typing it twice
(Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.)
If typing ~. does not work, it could be that you have the escape character disabled, in which case you can put
EscapeChar ~
inside ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh_config
Even when the escape character is disabled, you can simply pull up another Terminal window and type
killall ssh
to end all running ssh processes, allowing you to connect out again.
Restarting the SSH daemon would not correct this problem because sshd allows other clients to connect in to your machine, and does not affect your ssh clients connecting out to some other machine.
It appears that the fix for my issue is to delete my Kerberos tokens that are valid while at work, but not valid when at home. Hope this can help anyone having a similar issue.
Just a shot in the dark:
I recently had problems using ssh after installing Rogue Amoeba Audio Hijack Pro.
I could only use ssh as super user (sudo).
An Update to 2.8.1 resolved the issue...
Also see http://www.macobserver.com/article/2008/03/19.8.shtml for the issue.
