I am using Mac Yosemite OS to connect to my office servers via ssh. I am not able to connect through any of the Wifi (my apt's wifi or my work place's wifi). However, I am able to do ssh when I am connected via ethernet. I did the following things to solve the problems but I was not successful.

  1. Switched off my firewall but I still was not able to get connected.

  2. I pinged my server and I got Request timeout status. However, when I pinged or did ssh through my other Mac (which has Maverick OS), I was able to get positive response of my ping message and got connected (in case of any wifi).

  3. I did ssh -vvv username@host, I received the following message

    OpenSSH_6.2p2, OSSLShim 0.9.8r 8 Dec 2011
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh_config line 20: Applying options for *

debug1: Connecting to <server name> [<server ip address>] port 22.
debug1: connect to address <server ip address> port 22: Operation timed out 
ssh: connect to host <server name> port 22: Operation timed out

  4. I re-installed OpenSSL and still was not able to fix the problem.

  5. I got similar problems when I used Cyberduck, Firezilla or VNC but not in case of my other computer which has OS Maverick.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions that I should try ? Thanks!

******Update 1*******

I removed OpenSSL & brew and tried connecting to the server. I did 

ssh -vvv uname@<server-name>

The message says that the connection is established. However, I am not able to move ahead after the following message:

debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received

Here is entire message:

Also when I tried to do ping, I am able to do it and able to receive the message and not errors !!

I think I am pretty close to the solution and for sure brew didn't work properly on my mac yosemite.

********Update 2**********

I was able to solve the problem by:

  1. removing the brew

  2. basically giving the argument for UseDNS as no

    vi /etc/sshd_config UseDNS no

  3. service sshd restart by

    unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK

and then do ssh

  • what does traceroute host tell you? You say you get a timeout on both imp ping and tcp on port 22. This would suggest there is a connectivity issue. Can you use the internet when only connected to wifi?

  • Hi @Paul -- I ran traceroute <server name> and I didn't receive any error message. It ran for 64 hops showing that the packets were received. I have tried using internet both thru wifi and ethernet cable of my apartment. I don't know why am I having connectivity issue on my one Mac with yosemite but other one works fine.
