ssh ubuntu networking bash

I've been working on this all day and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm trying to set up an SSH connection to my Ubuntu 22.04 server, but I'm getting a 'Connection refused' behavior. I have verified that the SSH service is installed and running using `systemctl status ssh`. The output shows that it is active, but I still need to connect: ``` ● ssh.service - OpenBSD Secure Shell server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ssh.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Fri 2023-10-20 12:00:00 UTC; 1h 30min ago ``` I have also checked my firewall settings with `ufw status`, and it indicates that SSH (port 22) is allowed: ``` Status: active To Action From -- ------ ---- 22 ALLOW Anywhere ``` I have tried connecting using both my local machine and another server on the same network, but the result is the same. I also verified that there are no typos in the SSH command itself: ``` ssh user@your-server-ip ``` Additionally, I checked the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file for any misconfigurations. The relevant lines appear to be standard: ``` Port 22 PermitRootLogin no PubkeyAuthentication yes ``` I restarted the SSH service after making any changes, but the scenario continues. Another thing I noticed is that the server's IP address seems to be correct and reachable via `ping`. I suspect there might be a deeper scenario at play. Any ideas on what could be causing this 'Connection refused' behavior? This is part of a larger web app I'm building. How would you solve this? I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Bash. What's the correct way to implement this? This issue appeared after updating to Bash 3.11. Thanks for any help you can provide!
