Some Debian and Ubuntu based servers have disabled remote root login by default, if you need to enable it, you have update SSH config file.

Switch privileges for root access:

Code: Select all

su - root

Open config file:

Code: Select all

nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

search for line:
PermitRootLogin without-password
or
#PermitRootLogin without-password
Change line to:

Code: Select all

PermitRootLogin yes

Exit nano and restart SSH server

Code: Select all

service sshd restart
