Hello,

I cannot find anyone with my problem on the newsgroups consulted:
FACTs:
1-I used to work with putty (for a vnc connection to an office) and
winscp to browse
the network.
2-Both used to work fine.
3-Now, WinSCP still work when I provide the correct IP
4-Putty does not work anymore.

Putty returns the window: PuTTY Fatal Error: Network error: Connection
refused.
Please, could I have some advise on how to debug my problem.
Should I use a sniffer to verify where Putty is blocked ?

Well, the error is rather explicit. "Connection refused" effectively
means that there is no service to connect to. FWIW, WinSCP supports a
number of file transfer protocols, including SFTP. The fact that
WinSCP works is not an indicator that you have an SSH server to
connect to.

Things to ask about:
1) firewalls interfering with ssh access?
2) ssh server running on target system?
3) winscp using ssh protocol?
4) administrative blocks against interactive sessions (either in SSH
config, or in firewall)?
