When I am trying to connect to a server via ssh it is throwing an error "ssh: connect to host 178.128.60.26 port 22: Connection timed out". My operating system is windows 10. And I am using Git bash for connecting via ssh. Checked the blocked ports in the firewall. Port number 22 is open for all networks. I already connected to the server via ssh but now I can't.

Firewall open ports

Check first if you can ping the server.

But if you do:

  • either the server itself is not running the ssh daemon service (but then the error woudl more likely be "connection refused")
  • or it is, but on a non-conventional port (your ssh call would need to be ssh -p <another_port> ...) (again, the error would more likely be "connection refused")
  • or its firewall rules prevents any incoming ssh request: that would actually generate a time out.
    If the remote machine is a Linux one: sudo service ufw status (assuming you have access to said server, or you can ask an administrator to check)
