Installed Fedora and when trying to connect to the new Fedora operating system via SSH I get the error
Connection refused
So where to start? First figure I should check to see if the service is running
ShellScript
[dennis@localhost ~]$ sudo systemctl status sshd
[sudo] password for dennis:

[dennis@localhost ~]$ If the service wasn’t running you can simply initiate the following command to get the ssh running
ShellScript
sudo systemctl start sshdAnd you may want sshd to start automatically with a reboot and for that to happen you need to issue
ShellScript
systemctl enable sshd.service
