New Linode, connection refused

Question

general

Hi, i´m setting up a new linode.

I´m generating SSH Keys, but when i run:

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <your username="">@<your server="" ip="">:</your></your>

I get this error:

ssh: connect to host <my ip=""> port 22: Connection refused</my>

My first thought is that the firewall is blocking port 22

My Linode: Ubuntu 12.04, Apache, CSF (firewall), Fail2Ban.

I changed my port to 44444, checked CSF:

TCP_IN:44444

TCP_OUT:44444

I´m logging in with Putty, and port 44444

Do you think it can be a "router/port" problem? Or any firewall configuration?

** I enabled a Private IP address on my Linode (could it be the problem?)

*** There´s a problem with Filezilla SFTP also, i can login using port 44444, but not able to modify any files.

I use ssh-copy-id since it makes sure permissions are set up right on the .ssh directory.

Try Lish, when you can ssh locally inside the Linode VM then you should be able to remotely and if not then it's likely a firewall issue.
