I am trying to connect the computers on my home wifi network via SSH. But I get "connection refused". Here is a supporting image (ip address changed for security purposes). enter image description here

Why is it refusing the connection? The username and password for the other machine are the admin account.

One other note you should really take .. change the port 22, we get drive by,s that try and log in to port 22, some other people will do a full port scan to find your ssh port, but by changing the port it knocks a few hackers straight out. you can do this in..

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

Also after you get the key working turn off PermitRootlogin no.
