Hi.
Actually it was a typo, I did type it without space on the terminal but it shows that error as stated .:/

Maybe run it with -v option so you get verbose output. Also look at your firewall settings on your droplet. Make sure your ssh is listening on port 22 and not some other ports. Also try to ping your droplet from your mac to make sure you have connectivity between the two endpoints. maybe try telnet {your_ip_address} 22 to see if it's connecting.

@Peter-Zoltan-Keresztes
Thanks for the reply.
As u suggested, I tried to ping and use telnet and apparently its not connecting to the server. I checked on the server computer and the port 22 was open but not sure why is it not connecting?

@gvimlan have you tried to use the terminal that Digital ocean offers through their user login? See if that one is working first

@remcokatz
That terminal is working but I m trying to connect using terminal and also trying to use filezilla to transfer files easily

Does you droplet has internet access? Try pinging google from it to make sure that it does have internet access. From your mac try to ping your droplet gateway. If that pings that mean there is an issue inside DO network contact the support line to have them fix the network.

Exactly, +1

Or change your VPS service provider with one which does not have misconfigured VPS or network issues.

Probably doesn't help, but I managed to get to your login screen using putty. So it's likely an issue with your command. Or, it's working fine and just won't talk to Macs.

Had to contact to the customer support and report about the problem. Now its working smooth
