Received the error “Network error: Connection refused” when tried to connect to Ubuntu virtual machine through putty.
Reason: SSH keys are not installed on Linux server(In my case Ubuntu)
Solution: We faced this issue because SSH keys are not installed on Linux server. Solution is to install the SSH keys on the Linux server by running command.
