Getting "connection closed" could be caused by:
1. Your remote machine is not allowed to access your server
Solution: check /etc/hosts.allow on your server and add the line
sshd: 192.168.4.56
replace "192.168.4.56" with your remote machine's real IP address
2. The ssh daemon (sshd) is not running. Try port scanning your
server (nmap is a good one). You should see that port 22 is open.
