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