After watching the video and knowing a little about ssh, I figured it would be easy to ssh into my new shell, but alas it is proving to be more difficult than I imagined.

I hate to start a new topic with a simple question, but it seems as though other people's connection problems were based on incorrect credentials or being banned.

I'm not sure where mine stem from. I created a shell, set up a username and password but cannot seem to connect. I feel as though I am missing something small, but nothing comes to mind. My only question would be if I need to setup an SSH key or not. I have tried with and without one and it did not work either way. Here is the command's I have tried

ssh [email protected]
ssh -i /path/to/my/id_rsa [email protected]

Thanks for any help you can offer
