title: Connecting to Windows SSH Server
body: <p>I am a newbie trying out SSH. The scenario is I have 2 machines - Windows 7 PC(Desktop) and a VMWare machine (Windows 7). Cygwin installed on both. I am trying to connect the VMWare machine to the desktop. I have installed the OpenSSH server on Desktop server. I verified it is running, using netstat. 
  I modified the Windows firewall, by adding to the Inbound Rules to allow connections for port 22. </p>
  
  <p>My problem is I am unable to connect from the VMWare machine.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ssh -v user_name@my_machine
  OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8q 2 Dec 2010
  debug1: Connecting to my_machine port 22.
  debug1: connect to address my_machine port 22: Connection refused
  ssh: connect to host my_machine port 22: Connection refused
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong? What are my options to configure? Any links or answers would be helpful.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
