I'm trying to SSH from my Linux machine running Ubuntu to my Windows 10 machine. However, when trying to connect, the terminal 'freezes' and eventually prompts me with a Connection Timed Out error.



Using SSH from my Windows to Linux machine works perfectly, it's the other way around that keeps spitting Connection Timed Out errors at me.



I first thought it was that I was using a Microsoft account to log into my Windows machine so I changed it to a local user but the SSH still failed with a Connection Timed Out (and yes I was using the local account username)



Message: ssh: connection to host 192.168.*.** port 22: Connection timed out



I've scoured so many forums and articles looking for a solution but I couldn't find anything.
