Connection refused error while trying to connect via CYGWIN

Asked By Jason H Henderson 30 points N/A Posted on - 11/30/2013

Hi

We have two Windows7 workstations that have CYGWIN installed and one Fedora 19 machine which is used as a server and it has Apache, MYSQL ,FTP and SSH server installed in it. Two days ago we have added another Windows7 workstation to our network and we have installed CYGWIN on it. But every time we try to connect to our server with our new machine via CYGWIN we get the error connection refused. Can anybody tell me how to fix it?

If CYGWIN is creating error then in that case you can use the Msysgit instead of the CYGWIN. Both of these are quite awesome and you can install any of them. It does work fine with the powershell as well. However, with CYGWIN you need to reinstall. Hope that will solve the problem.
