I noticed when trying to do my backups that rsync wasn't working. So when i tried to ssh into my server i noticed that my ssh stopped working altogether.
Any help would be appreciated.
do you have physical access to the server? can you check if sshd is running?
Is there a firewall active blocking ssh?
you can try ssh -vvv larry@remoteserver and see the negotiation ...
It seems to be hanging at this output:
(base) larry@larry-ThinkPad-E590:~$ ssh -vvv [email protected]
OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017

the next line should be ... debug1: Connection established.
Did ssh work for you in the past? can you reboot the remoteserver?
it did work for a long time...i presummed it stopped because of an ubuntu revision, doesn't look like it's from server side.
So, the thinkpad is the problem ... can you ssh to the thinkpad (ssh localhost) ?
Yes, i was able to login to localhost.
it is possible that the remoteserver does not accept root logins.
Can you ssh to remoteserver as user, eg. ssh [email protected] ?
After talking with my server people we ran a traceroute and found that the problem is actually with my cable internet provider. Thak you for all your help.
