Remote SSH

[Simon Ives]

Can someone please help with the syntax to remotely SSH to my Ubuntu
file server.  I've opened the server's I.P address and port 22 in the
router and verified that this has occurred with Shields Up (it reported
the server's host-name and that port 22 is open).  I'm just unsure of
how to SSH from a remote location.

The syntax I've attempted is:

ssh 124.171.***.*** (which is my public I.P address provided by my ISP)

and

ssh username at 124.171.***.***

Both return the following error: "ssh_exchange_identification:
Connection closed by remote host"

I can SSH over the local network with no problems.

Thanks.
