Unable to connect to SSH or FTP

Post by FuTOM »

For some reason I cant connect via PuTTY or WinSCP to an unmanaged vds I just rented. I was planning to get stuff done with it today but it seems to not be working. I already contacted NFO's support but they couldnt help out past what we did. I disabled my firewall and generated 2 new keys that apparently werent there for the SSH daemon through the VNC console, then rebooted. No luck. Not sure why I'm having this problem. Could anyone help?

What is your VDS IP?

What does your "Server Control" tab say(a screenshot would be nice, excluding any sensitive info)?

Did you move the VDS from a different location at any point?

Do you have ANY firewall rules applied?

I am getting destination unreachable for that IP address, indicating the IP is not properly assigned in the OS.

Read the email you were automatically sent when you moved locations, it describes what you need to do.

If you have nothing installed, just reinstall the OS. It will automatically assign your IP address when installing the OS.
