are you sure that you can connect on port 22 to the host you specify ? connection timed out indicates to me that you can't ! – manseuk Nov 2 '11 at 10:39
Thanks a lot for the valuable reply ManseUK..actually i am totally new to ssh ans using it for the very first time..could you please let me know how to check whether i can connect on port 22 to the remote host or not??..i have already installed ssh on it, but i don't know how to verify this port thing..many thanks – TARIQ Nov 2 '11 at 10:44
you should be able to telnet to that port on that host .... first check that the name resolves to an address using ping <hostname> – manseuk Nov 2 '11 at 10:46
i am not able to connect to the remote host using telnet also..whenever i am trying to open a connection to that machine i receive the following line - Trying 192.168.2.75... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused – TARIQ Nov 3 '11 at 6:52
the problem is with your connection - it seems that there is no direct connection between you and the server - either all traffic is blocked or a specific port - or the host you are connecting to isnt listening on that port - what OS is the server your connecting to ? – manseuk Nov 3 '11 at 8:28

The simplest answer is to use:

ssh username@hostname

and you'll be prompted for a password. The hostname can be an IP address

man ssh

This Will give you the other options for using ssh.
