I am trying to connect two Ubuntu laptops (server and client) using putty.

Here is the description:

  • LAPTOP A : UBUNTU SERVER 12.04 KERNEL : 3.2.0
  • LAPTOP B : UBUNTU 12.04 KERNEL : 3.2.0

Initially, made following attempts:

  • Connecting Ubuntu server to the Internet (wireless network) using referred link.

  • Installed openssh-server in the Laptop A, putty in Laptop B.

  • Seen the different options in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config

  • Shows Access Denied while trying to login in (after I have entered the correct password ) from the laptop B. Referred link.

Doesn't work. Please help.

Also tried this earlier:

ssh -v username@serveraddress -p 22

It says connection established with the server, but shows Permission Denied when password is entered.

No need to use putty for this. You can use the terminal.

sudo apt-get install openssh-client
ssh username@serveraddress

Not sure this solves the problem, but you can try. This also handles your public keys, and should give you suggestions on what to do if there is a key error.

if you get a permission denied error, there different possibilites for that:

  • entered password is wrong.
  • User cannot access the default shell.
  • password logins are not allowed.
  • many other possibilities with errors accessing files..

on the server type 

tail -f /var/log/messages

right before executing the ssh command from the client, can give you essential information about whats going on. (you leave the tail program with Ctrl+C)
