[Help]Putty error: connection refused

[SiDH]

Hello,
I am unable to login on server by putty,. It shows network error:connection refused
What would be the problem?
I tried to login by port 22
that may be the port problem
What is the way to login on server by ssh entering the correct port?
I tried by rescue mode,but i got login,but it was in vain(i am unlabe to edit iptables config, changed port from 2 to any other port,but still error is coming)
Actuly my server administrator is on leave. He done some changes on server

thank you

well it can mean many things,

1 - your server is offline
2 - your servers' ssh port is not 22
3 - your firewall is blocking the connection
4 - you are IP banned
5 - the ssh service is turned off.

you're going to need to figure out what the problem is

on rescue mode u have to mount the partitions, then only u can access ur data.

if u have kloxo or WHM try accessing that. most probably, its a issue with firewall.

boot into recovery mode.

1.find the partition you need
#fdisk -l

2. mount the partition
/dev/hda1 - the partiton path from fdisk. /mnt/ path to mount to.
#mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/
