Question
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
- Posted September 1, 2013
I did few steps for the gunicorn and nginx. Everything was fine, but, then i again tried to login into vps by ssh then i get following errors.
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
Now, i can’t login into digitalocean vpn to change /etc/hosts.deny
Further, i tried from the browser based terminal access then its wired that i can’t type “/” as my keyboard is not in english format.
Help is appreciated!
