To be honest i am not sure if i can simplify the matter any further. A certain minimum of knowledge is necessary if you want to do any - even the most basic - act of system administration.

Did that on client.

Result: ”ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.xx port 22: Connection refused
OK. This might have several reasons:

1. The server process doesn't run on the system you want to connect to. For a working connection you need the client program on your local system and the server part on your remote system.

2. The server part tuns but listens to another port. 22 is the default port, but sshd can be configured to use another one instead.

3. The user ID you use ("roy") is not allowed to log on to the system.

4. Maybe some other reason i forgot.

First off: what you see here is not the sshd process, but the grep, which of course finds itself running. My example has 2 lines of output as you can see: the running "sshd" and the "grep". Yours has only the "grep" which means, "sshd" is not running at all.

Furthermore, you probably issued this on your client. As said above the server part needs to run on the remote system, not your local one.

What do you mean by "no result"? Was there any output? Did you try to connect to the system while this process was running? Did you still get the "connection refused" error in this time?

Code:
roy@192.168.1.xx (client IP) # ssh roy@182.168.1.xx (server IP)

Did that: 'command not found'
Please note: The "#" is the command prompt. Yours probably looks different. When i write:

Code:
user1@host1 # /some/command

i simply mean: become user "user1" at host "host1", then issue "/some/command" on the command line.

CAN YOU TELL ME PLEASE HOW TO WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN and to make a fresh start in language a genuine newbie can understand.
Sorry, but i can't. I can't explain someone the difference between "dark green" and "light green" who was blind from birth either. There is a certain minimum of knowledge about computers and how computers work necessary to at least understand and carry out basic commands. The best advice i can give you is: get someone knowledgeable to install it for you - or get the knowledge yourself. Both won't be possible over the net in a forum.

I hope this helps.
