Cannot SSH into server but I can remote access Plex

I have recently ‘fixed’ my server by installing ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS and I have successfully mounted my usb drives where the movies live. I can access Plex remotely but what I cannot do is ssh into the server. Is there some permission on the server that I overlooked?

What could I be missing?

Here’s the ssh output:

qrp@qrp-Latitude-5490:~$ sudo ssh qrp@192.168.50.175:32400
[sudo] password for qrp:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname 192.168.50.175:32400: Name or service not known
qrp@qrp-Latitude-5490:~$

Use sudo ssh qrp@192.168.50.175

qrp@qrp-Latitude-5490:~$ sudo ssh qrp@192.168.50.175
[sudo] password for qrp:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.50.175 port 22: Connection refused

Basics following an upgrade or install ..

  1. Is the SSH server installed , enabled for autostart at boot, and running?

  2. Did you enter a bad password too many times and your PC IP get blocked?

1 and 2 No.

I installed the ssh server (forgot that one) and now it works perfectly. Thanks, ChuckPa.
