SSH access via Windows

[chrisj]

I want to set up my router to connect via SSH. I have both “Enable SSH” and “Allow SSH login with password” checked in the router config, but when I try connecting via OpenSSH on my Windows machine via “ssh root@ssh root@<router_ip>”, I get “kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host”.

I also tried using ssh_keygen and adding my public key to the SSH Keys text box in the router config, but I got the same response.

@chrisj The command is “ssh root@<router-ip>”. Is that what you entered?

Wow, I don’t know what I was drinking when I tried it the first time. It works fine when I use the right syntax. 🙂
