To connect to an ssh server in a terminal you need:




  1. The call ssh to start the program

  2. The user name, which in your case is root

  3. An @ sign separating the user name from the server identification

  4. The IP address or name of the server, which in your case is 10.0.2.15


Assembled, the command looks like:



ssh root@10.0.2.15


in general terms, ssh user@server.



Alternatively, you can use the -l option to directly specify the login name and skip the @ syntax:



ssh 10.0.2.15 -l root

    As WooJoo stated, you need to tell it a valid server to connect to. If you wanted to use the form $ ssh root@server you can, but you would need to have server as an entry in /etc/hosts or your dns server (which is not the case or you would not have had an error), or an entry in a file called config located typically at /home/username/.ssh/config.



    A sample /etc/hosts entry would look like:



    # Sample /etc/hosts file
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 computerhostnamehere

    10.0.2.15 server


    and a sample /home/username/.ssh/config could be as simple as:



    Host server
    HostName 10.0.2.15
    User root


    This would get you the basic functionality you are looking for. There are many more options available for placing in the ~/.ssh/config file.



    See man ssh for more options :)

      Please try by adding server entry to which you are trying to ssh in /etc/hosts file of machine from where you want to do ssh
