winscp382 giving me an error when I try to connect to my Linux Computer from my Windows computer.?
I am running Windows Home, and I am trying to connect to a Debian Linux computer using winscp382 (A program that allows you to brows the files on another computer if you know the computers ip, username and password). I use it to connect to 2 other Debian Linus servers from the same Windows computer, and it conneccts just fine. but when I try to conecct it to the other Debian computer it gives me and error saying " Network error: Connection refused" I know that the Debian computer is conected to the same network as the Windows computer and it is conected to the internet, and I know I have the username password and ip all correct. And one more thing, the user name that I am using for the debian computer is an addministrative account.

Connection refused error usually means that the connection failed before it got started, on the tcp/ip level.
Most probable causes would be, if the machines are on same network, wrong ip, ssh service not running on target machine, firewall at either machine blocking connection. Can you ping the target machine fine?
