Connecting to remote host

Checking crontab job entry in 3 different hosts Hi Gurus,
I am trying to connect to remote host from current host to check crontab entries. I have started like this

 
ssh -n -l db2psp 205.191.156.17 ". ~/.profile >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; cd log ;ls | wc -l"

I got this error ?

ssh: connect to host 205.191.156.17 port 22: Connection refused  

can some one help me to resolve this ?

ssh daemon works on port 22.

You will get the same error with

telnet 205.191.156.17 22

This is the easiest way to check port status.

Port 22 might not be opened at the other end ( because of firewall rules most probably)
Ask your system/network admin for the same.
