    Is your sshd allowing remote root logins? The Console on the website is considered "local access" (like a kvm or being physically at the server) so it is not affected by the /etc/ssh/sshd_config settings.

    There is a setting for this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config you can check. You may also want to try restarting your ssh server by running the command:

    /etc/init.d/ssh restart

    Thank you. I changed PermitRootLogin to yes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Now Every thing ok.

    Thanks for the support.
