[SOLVED] Failed password for invalid user" with ssh

[haroon9]

I am trying to access my server from another machine using SSH. I can ssh into the server using FileZilla without any problems but if I try it from the command line on the same machine I got "permission denied, please try again.". I then look into the auth.log file and there it was written "Failed password for invalid user" any idea what the issue can be?

hi.

Failed password for invalid user

you're giving a wrong username (which doesn't exist on server). command line syntax for ssh is: ssh username@server

Thank you for the response I was missing the username of the sever.
