I am trying to connect to machine2
, which is running Ubuntu 19.10, with machine1
, running Ubuntu 18.04.5 using ssh. When I attempt to use the ip address of machine2
to connect from machine1
I get the following message:
[machine1_username]@[machine1_host]:~$ ssh -v [machine2_username]@ip_address
OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/[home_directory]/.ssh/config
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

debug1: Connecting to [ip_address] [[ip_address]] port 22.
debug1: connect to address [ip_address] port 22: Connection timed out
ssh: connect to host [ip_address]port 22: Connection timed out
When I attempt to connect to machine2
from machine1
using the hostname I get the following message:
ssh: could not resolve hostname [hostname].local: Name or service not known
Neither command prompts me for a password. The public key has been stored in the authorized_keys
file in .ssh
directory on machine2
manually but as I said, I don't get that far.
My ufw settings on machine1
and machine2
allow traffic on that port, ssh has been installed on both machines, openssh-client
has been installed on machine1
and openssh-server
has been installed on machine2
. The nmap command on both machines indicates port 22/tcp is open for ssh connections. I've also verified that machine2
is listening on Port 22
.

# Configuration data is parsed as follows:
# 1. command line options
# 2. user-specific file
# 3. system-wide file
# Any configuration value is only changed the first time it is set.
# Thus, host-specific definitions should be at the beginning of the

# Site-wide defaults for some commonly used options. For a comprehensive
# list of available options, their meanings and defaults, please see the
# ssh_config(5) man page.

I've made sure I'm using the correct IP address and user name. Considering they are on the same network, I know I'm doing something dumb.
machine1
cannot pingmachine2
. It works the other way around, which doesn't help me.
