I've installed Cygwin on the guest and set up sshd. I can ssh localhost
from within the guest.
The virtual machine is connected with a "NAT" adapter, and I've set up a port forwarding rule for the virtual machine that read as follows:
TCP 127.0.0.1 6666 10.0.2.15 22
but when I try to connect from the Linux host with:
$ ssh -v -p 6666 bx@127.0.0.1
OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

the command hangs with this output. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks. Could you elaborate on that a little bit, please? If I change the Virtual Box network settings from "Attached to: NAT" to "Attached to: Bridged Adapter", the Port Forwarding button gets grayed out and the guest loses Internet connectivity, but nothing appears to be solved. – PSkocik – 2017-08-26T17:53:42.480
1Bridged, makes the interface behave like you plugged the VM directly into the network. You may need to renew the ip-address. Port-Forwarding is disabled, because you are no longer NAT'ing the connection... it will have it's own IP, and doesn't need NAT'ing. – TheCompWiz – 2017-08-26T17:59:27.093
