Can't SSH into my build I am getting Connection Refused

I am trying to ssh into my build but I keep getting a “Connection Refused” error.

I have also verified my github keys as stated in the Docs

But I and getting the “Connection Refused” error still.

This is what I have tried to do and the errors received:

12:12:17 /$ ssh -i /Users/[user]/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p 64624 ubuntu@54.213.240.220

ssh: connect to host 54.213.240.220 port 64624: Connection refused

12:12:25 /$ ssh -i /Users/[user]/.ssh/id_rsa -p 64624 ubuntu@54.213.240.220

ssh: connect to host 54.213.240.220 port 64624: Connection refused

12:12:41 /$ ssh -i /Users[user]/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p 64624 ubuntu@54.213.240.220 -L 1234:localhost:3000

ssh: connect to host 54.213.240.220 port 64624: Connection refused

Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Did you ever resolve this? I am getting the same error

Hi, I’m having the same issue. I tried following the SSH troubleshooting tips, but as far as I can tell, there’s no problem with my ssh configuration.

I can verify that my ssh key works with github:

$ ssh -i /Users/bergs/.ssh/id_rsa git@github.com
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Hi stuarteberg! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Connection to github.com closed.

But I can’t use the same key to log into the CI machine:

$ ssh -vvv -i /Users/bergs/.ssh/id_rsa -p 64602 ubuntu@23.20.225.205
OpenSSH_7.4p1, LibreSSL 2.5.0
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug2: resolving "23.20.225.205" port 64602
debug2: ssh_connect_direct: needpriv 0

debug1: connect to address 23.20.225.205 port 64602: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host 23.20.225.205 port 64602: Connection refused

Any ideas?

BTW: This is the project I’m trying to debug:
https://circleci.com/gh/janelia-flyem/diced

I’m experiencing the same issue. :frowning: Any progress on this?

SSH has worked fine for me in the past. I’ve probably used it a once or twice a month for the last six months on failed Circle 2.0 builds. Are you waiting for your build to complete before attempting the connection?

It seems like the connection is internally blocked by the admins. Trying to connect from home works :slight_smile:
