Barry,
how are you using ssh?
You need to type ssh -l <username> <host you want to connect to>
hopefully you will then get a message asking you if you are sure you want to this particular host to be added to your known_hosts file just type yes. You should now have shell access.

My web site hosting company have just changed from Telnet to SSH.
I am unable to establish a connection and I'm not sure quite what I'm supposed to do at my end.
I'm running Debian Potato and have installed SSH. Do I need to do anything else in order to use it? I have looked at the man page but, as always, I don't understand it.
SSH appears to connect to the host but exits with 'secure connection refused'.
Any help gratefully received.
