I installed Ubuntu in VMWare Workstation 7. My Host (Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2) and Guest machine is connected using NAT connection. Now I want to connect Guest OS (Ubuntu) with Putty, installed in my Host OS, using SSH connection. What settings I have to do in Ubuntu, Vista and Putty?

--Edit--
As per sreimer's instruction I installed openssh-server. Now when I am trying to connect using putty, same error is occured:

Putty Fatal Error - Network error : Connection refused

    Try changing the guest adapter to bridged instead of NAT. Bridged will make the host&guest appear on the same subnet. NAT places the guest on a different subnet, like it's behind another router. You can try to configure the VMWare NAT to accept the putty connection from your subnet, but bridged is probably the simplest solution. – Joe Internet Mar 17 '11 at 18:14

Install openssh-server on Ubuntu with

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

You should then be able to ssh from Windows (Putty) using the default settings

  • check to see if the ssh daemon is running with `ps aux | grep sshd`. If not, run `/etc/init.d/ssh start` – sreimer Mar 17 '11 at 20:57

Does $'sudo netstat -nlpt' show sshd running on port 22 ?
Did you start the sshd service with $'sudo initctl start ssh'

You have to have ssh service running after you install the openssh-server. Some times it will not start the service.
