I have been using SSH to connect to a Ubuntu VM for months without issue. All of a sudden it stopped working. When I try to connect it responds with "connect to host [VM name].cloudapp.net port 22: Connection refused". I get a similar response if I try to connect using the IP address. It was working fine Friday afternoon and I have changed nothing in the last 2 days. This is extremely frustrating. The server is running and I can load websites that are hosted there. I have tried
- restarting the machine,
- changing the size (suggested in another thread),
- shutting down completely and starting again (which changed my IP address),
- deleting & re-creating the endpoint.
None of these attempted solutions have changed anything. Can anyone please tell me how to make this work again without loosing my data.
Update: It appears that port 21 is also not working as I cannot connect via basic FTP anymore either.
