SSH is not working for remote hosts

Posted on June 29, 2013

I can login to SSH with web interface but it does not work from my Mac when I type

ssh root@IP

I have not setup SSH Keys. I wish to login with password.

Looks like I am missing something obvious. I had used other competing cloud services (not sure if I can mention it here) and I always could login.

Thanks

I faced the same issue today. Tried all the steps mentioned here, but no success. Eventually, did a power cycle, and was able to login. The only change I had made to my droplet before this problem occurred, was adding a crontab entry to start my service at reboot. Is there a better way known to solve this SSH issue?
