Try ssh root@<insert ip address of AIX computer here> or ssh root@<insert name of AIX computer here>

By the way: the sshd_config file doesn't look valid and working to me. If you leave all the comments out, only two lines remain:
Code:
Protocol 2
Subsystem sftp /usr/sbin/sftp-server

There are no options or config settings. To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file. There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
