    The following devices i have and connect to the same route:
    1. normal pc
    2. macbook air
    3. ipad

    I installed openSSH on my ipad as the SSH server.
    I can use my normal pc (putty) to connect ipad by ssh.

    But when I was trying to use mac (Terminal) as the client to connect the ipad by ssh,
    it shows some error: connect timed out.

    I am sure the ip i use is correct.
    Do anyone knows any reason will cause these kind of issue?

    Thanks.

    Have you tried using an SSH client on the Mac such as Cyberduck?

    no, but even I use windows's putty (virtual machine on mac) I also get 'connect timed out'.
    I guess some network setting for my mac is wrong.

    yes, i can use PC to connect my IPAD which means all the setting on IPAD side is correct.
    i don't know what kind of issue could make MAC cannot connect to any other ssh server, maybe firewall settings?
