I am trying to ssh login to my remote server. But whenever i try to login through terminal using ssh command:

  ssh root@{ip_address}

I get error:

 Connection closed by {ip_address}

I checked hosts deny and hosts allow, there is nothing in the file. I am not getting why it happening?

It happened when i changed my workstation and key got changed. When i tried ssh login, it asked to add key and i entered yes and then it closed the connection.

Is there any way to get connected with ssh again?

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Edit:

Output of ssh -v -v -v -v root@{ip_address} is

Had the same issue but a simple remote server reboot helped.
