Asked by alliejones42
I am trying to ssh into my droplet and i keep getting a timeout.
ssh -p 444 [username]@[ipaddress] [password] ssh: connect to host [ipaddress] port 4444: Operation timed out
I can ping my [ipaddress] fine. and my website is up.
I also can’t access the console inside the digital ocean dashboard it is only a black screen. Clicking inside the console doesn’t work either.
I just get two errors:
noVNC ready: native WebSockets, canvas rendering
and then finally it says:
Server disconnected (code: 1006)
I have also tripple checked I am using the correct Ip address and port. I have also sshed into my droplet in the past.
any help would be appreciated it.

sudo service ssh status--> Find if it’s running, if it says stopped -->sudo service ssh startsudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config--> Find where it says ‘Port’, make sure this is indeed 4444, else substitute it in then reconnect.
