Probably you don't have the ssh daemon started, or you're connecting to the wrong port.
You can check ps -e|grep ssh to see whether sshd is running, and the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file will specify which port it uses.

Yes ssh service is not started.
I have a suse linux... to start ssh service what i will have to do????
In YAST, it is not showing any ssh service.

i opened /etc/ssh/sshd_config file... it is empty file.

So what should i do now?

Check that you have an ssh server installed. OpenSSH is the most common.

As far as I know sshd is installed automatically. I'm on version 10.2 and it's installed. So when you got to YAST > Software Management and search 'ssh' there is nothing?

Hi ...

I have checked.... In Yast->Software Management OpenSSH is there. But all the installed programs are listed in BLACK colour but OpenSSH is in shown RED Colour.. Is there any significance of that????

Does SSH server need to be started manually??? or any modification in any configuration file???

Any suggestion ??? I am not getting what should I do....
