How to ssh from windows to my ubuntu machine in the local network

Question

When I'm trying to ssh to my local ubuntu server from the gitbash on my windows machine Im getting this error:

$ ssh 192.168.1.11
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.11 port 22: Bad file number

Other answers I've found seems to be related to linux-to-linux connetions. I'm newbie here, can you please provide information how to achieve that?

Running nmap -sS 192.168.1.11 -p 22:

C:\Users\Me>nmap -sS 192.168.1.11 -p 22

Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org )

Running: ssh -v 192.168.1.11 -p 443:

$ ssh -v 192.168.1.11 -p 443

And even if I edit my .ssh/config like this:

Host ubuntu.dev
Hostname 192.168.1.11
User meubuntu

And connecting to ssh ubuntu.dev It still does not work

Solution

I know this is an old question, but it came up sorta high up in the Google search, so, for anyone having troubles for SSH'ing from a Windows to a Linux box, in my case, the problem was that I hadn't installed the SSH server on my Linux Mint machine.

Even if you do have SSH installed (like for connecting to another computers), you need this package to enable receiving connections.

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

could you update the question with output of nmap -sS 192.168.1.11 -p 22 and nc -z 192.168.1.11 1-25 -v or just scan port 22 with any of the port scanners and update the question with the outout

Ive already tried it, does not work. Turned off my antivirus and its firewall - still does not work. Maybe I need something to setup on my ubuntu machine?

This helped me in setting up ssh connection between my windows 7 host and ubuntu guest.
