I'm currently using PuTTY to connect Windows XP to Kali Linux which has been very successful. However, for a project I'm working on, I need to connect from Linux to XP (using PuTTY still), but the password is never accepted. I have tried different programs such as opensshd and freesshd whilst using the Linux terminal, but every attempt has failed. I'm starting to think that the user isn't being found on the Windows XP machine within the PuTTY or via the terminal.
Create SSH session between Kali Linux to Windows XP
ssh;terminal;putty
