I was trying to log in my server through Mac Terminal. I typed ‘ssh root@ipaddress’ and it gives me ‘ssh: connect to host ipaddress port 22: Connection refused’. how should I log in? I just forgot :/

I have solved this issue by unchecking the SSH key.
I have set an ssh key for the previous droplet. When I try to use the same ssh key for the new droplet it refused me to connect on port 22. I destroyed and created a new droplet and did not choose the ssh key. When I got the e-mail for the password it worked using that password.

I Had the same issue, but with the
sudo netstat -plutn | grep 22
i realized that my real port was changed to 2500, and not 22 anymore. but now it’s working properly.Turns out I was using a VPN that blocked port 22. Now everything is working properly.
Hi, <br>You tried other SSH clients? Alternatively, check using nmap-if port 22 is not used by any service or firewall.

I was getting Connection refused after I typed in the wrong password in ssh. After I logged in successfully from the Digital Ocean Console, I was able to log in successfully with ssh.
For ubuntu 16 this worked for me
from the console
$ sudo service sshd restart
Did anyone find the answer? I’m still stuck with this issue for several months now and it’s a real pain. I can’t access my filezilla anymore even though I used to!
When I did
sudo netstat -plutn | grep 22
from the console, it gave me the followingThank you all so much!
I’m having the exact same problem since a letsencrypt certificate expired not connection to port 22 what do I do as I cannot access via console either…
