Able to log into OSMC box via SSH directly but not remotely

Hi

I am trying to log into my OSMC box remotely via ssh but am unable.

But I have been able to log into via a direct link via connecting a keyboard to the OSMC box via the command ssh omsc@xxxx.xxx.x.xxx where i changed the password via the passwd command.

So when I try to log in remotely via a terminal window on my Macbook I am still getting the error:

Permission denied, please try again.

If anyone can advise I would appreciate it greatly.

Hi,

Please issue the following command and post the link provided:

cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | paste-log

Thanks Tom.

This is my configuration

Hi,

That’s /etc/ssh/ssh_config which is the ssh client configuration, sorry but as requested need to see /etc/ssh/sshd_config which is the server/daemon configuration.

Thanks Tom.

Ah… here you go

Er, it should be osmc. The wrong username will give you that error.
