Restart ssh service:
sudo service ssh restart
If ssh is not installed, do it as below:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
SSH is not enabled by default in Ubuntu, but you can easily enable this service via OpenSSH, a free version of the SSH connectivity tools developed by the OpenBSD Project.
Another method to restart ssh:
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
What is the difference between ssh_config and sshd_config?
ssh_config:
Configuration file for the ssh client on the host machine you are running. For example, if you want to ssh to another remote host machine, you use a SSH client. Every settings for this SSH client will be using ssh_config, such as port number, protocol version and encryption/MAC algorithms.
sshd_config:
Configuration file for the sshd daemon (the program that listens to any incoming connection request to the ssh port) on the host machine. That is to say, if someone wants to connect to your host machine via SSH, their SSH client settings must match your sshd_config settings in order to communicate with you, such as port number, version and so on.
The sshd_config is the ssh daemon (or ssh server process) configuration file.
Whereas, the ssh_config file is the ssh client configuration file. The client configuration file only has bearing on when you use the ssh command to connect to another ssh host.
example:
For the SSH port number, ssh_config is manually set to be 1000 (decided by the remote host), sshd_config is set to be 5555. If anyone wants to connect to your host, they MUST set their ssh client port always to 1000. However, you will always use port 5555 as the default port (instead of the 22) to connect to a remote machine. If the remote machine uses another port or the standard port, you need to specify the port number in the command line, e.g., “ssh -p 22 remote.host.ip”
