What is the command you are using to connect to the ssh server? What message(s) is it giving you after you cannot get connected?

I'm using putty to connect to server as "root", but it's always giving message "Access dinied"

It could be your server is set up not to allow root login to ssh. This is a security measure. Try to ssh into the server as a regular user and see what happens. If you can get in, then become su or root.

I connected on local as "root" so I think root is allowed. I also tested connection as a regular user from client but could'n (Access dinied).

If sshd is working on the server, and port 22 is clear all the way through, then you should be able to login if allowing root login is set in the server's /etc/ssh/sshd_config. What is the exact command you are using to login to the server? Is it possible you are mistakenly logging into another computer on the LAN, thinking you are logging into the server? I ask because I've done that, and it gives the "access denied" message because the wrong machine is not recognizing my username or password.

I'm sure server is not wrong because I can connect by telnet or ftp as root and regular users.

I believe when root ssh loging is disabled it is only for remote connections. Can you post your /etc/ssh_config from the client and /etc/sshd_config from the server.

Thanks everyone, I found error, I don't open port 22 to allow remote connection
