When I try to connect to the ubuntu server, I get timeouts, ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer. Most of the answers suggest a reboot, but I'm unable to physically reboot it since the building is locked down due to COVID. Is there a way to remotely restart the sshd service?

This is the error messages from trying to SSH and telnet for the port. Any suggests to reboot the sshd? Thank you

user~$ ssh server_user@server_ip
ssh_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
user:~$ telnet server_ip 22
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to server_ip.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3
Connection closed by foreign host.

  • To start with, which version of Linux have you installed  (Ubuntu server, Ubuntu desktop, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, et al.) , and which release number?

  • Also note that "timeout" and "connection reset by peer" is not the same. – Tilman Apr 13 '20 at 18:48
