login into Fedora 16 from Windows 7 putty

i am trying to connect my fedora pc from windows pc in the same local network

Computer A:
Fedora 16 32 bit Gnome


Computer B:
Windows 7 Premium + Putty

Fedora 16 ->
open the "Firewall" and under "Trusted Interfaces"
check the eth+


you need to install "openssh-server"
you can try rpm -q openssh-server to find out if its already installed
open the gnome-terminal and type yum install openssh-server

you probably need to configuere ssh
type vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
locate the lines

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!
#PasswordAuthentication yes
#PermitEmptyPasswords no
PasswordAuthentication yes

and uncomment it

# To disable tunneled clear text passwords, change to no here!

PasswordAuthentication yes

PermitEmptyPasswords no

PasswordAuthentication yes

service sshd status --to get the status of ssh
service sshd restart -- restart the ssh

ps -C | grep ssh --check if ssh is running


download the putty.exe
type the ip address and select ssh

netstat -a | grep ssh --you will see new connection in "ESTABLISHED" state
