how to ssh to a ipv6 ubuntu in a LAN?

Question

Hi I'm able to ping my ubuntu box via command: (where c2h2ttt is listed in /etc/hosts)

c2h2@c2h2crawler:~/ttt$ ping6 -I eth1 c2h2ttt
PING c2h2ttt(c2h2ttt) from fe80::21b:21ff:fe22:e865 eth1: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from c2h2ttt: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=10.3 ms
64 bytes from c2h2ttt: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=2.06 ms
64 bytes from c2h2ttt: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.33 ms

And when I try ssh -6 c2h2ttt it shows:

c2h2@c2h2crawler:~/ttt$ ssh -6 c2h2ttt
ssh: connect to host c2h2ttt port 22: Invalid argument

Whats the correct command?

--EDIT--
On the server side /etc/ssh/sshd_config has uncommented:

ListenAddress ::
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

--EDIT 2--
I was able to ssh to c2h2ttt via ipv4 on port 22. and netstat -lnt | grep :22 is

root@c2h2think:~# netstat -lnt | grep :22
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN

--EDIT 3--
ufw is used and its allowing any inbound traffic on port 22

root@c2h2think:~# ufw status
Status: active

To                         Action      From

22                         ALLOW       Anywhere

--EDIT 4--

root@c2h2think:~# ip6tables -L -v -n

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)

Answer 1

Try specifying the interface to the ssh client. The ping6 utility allows you to specify an interface, however ssh does not have a switch for that, you have to use this syntax:

ssh -6 fe80::21b:21ff:fe22:e865%eth1

Link local addresses aren't supposed to be used for SSH, they're for low-level protocol bootstrapping stuff. If you don't have an ISP-provided prefix to use on your network, then generate a unique-local prefix from fd00::/8 instead:
