I try to connect to my Raspberry Pi from my Mac via an ethernet cable. I get: ssh: connect to host 169.254.32.96 port 22: Connection refused.

Nmap says this:

Starting Nmap 7.12 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-11-09 10:43 CET Nmap scan report for 169.254.32.96 Host is up (0.00088s latency). Not shown: 749 closed ports, 250 filtered ports PORT STATE SERVICE 80/tcp open http

When I connect to my Raspberry via WLAN and the Raspberry is connected to my Airport Express then connection via SSH is possible.

Nmap for this case:

Starting Nmap 7.12 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2016-11-09 10:44 CET Nmap scan report for 10.0.1.12 Host is up (0.0015s latency). Not shown: 995 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 80/tcp open http 5002/tcp open rfe 5901/tcp open vnc-1 6001/tcp open X11:1

I must connect to the Raspberry via ethernet cable for a show case. What do I have to change? I changed the iptable policies already but it didnt work. And I dont know which rules are used first. Additionally, I installed Eclipse Kura, tightvncserver and OpenXC framework. Since I installed those, I got the problems and entries to the iptable I don`t want to have. When I try to flush my iptables the Raspberry is operating at full capacity and unreachable.

Thanks for your help!

Connection refused means just what it says. You seem to think this has something to do with IP routing, which it does NOT - you would get a not found (or similar message) if this was so.

The most likely cause is ssh security settings on your Mac.

  • Thanks for your answer @Milliways But I try to get a connection via link-local. Do I have to disable dhcpcd as well? Because I cannot access the Pi and you wrote in this tutorial that avahi is a zeroconf implementation... Commented Nov 10, 2016 at 16:29
  • @KevinS Do NOT disable dhcpcd - it is neither necessary, nor desirable. You may want to check ~/.ssh/known_hosts on your Mac. You do not state in your question HOW you are trying to connect - I assumed, because you can via LAN, that this is OK. Commented Nov 10, 2016 at 23:16
  • Ok. I re-read your tutorial and as stupid as it sounds but with ssh [email protected] I was able to connect ...... Commented Nov 11, 2016 at 7:35
  • how can I access the Raspberry via VNC? A tightvncserver is already running but I get a timeout when I try to access raspberrypi.local:1 with VNCViewer. When I try to get the IP address, I have the one from my Mac preferences: 169.254.114.245 and when I use ifconfig on the Raspberry I get a IPv6 address which I cannot connect to.... @Milliways I´m so sorry but Im a newbie with Raspberry Pis and cant get it to run like I want it...

  • @KevinS try open vnc://[email protected]:5901 I am not sure if this works - I rarely use vnc. I know rsync doesn't work this way. Commented Nov 12, 2016 at 21:45

I enabled ssh on my pi using sudo raspi-config and then followed this: https://mycyberuniverse.com/mac-os/connect-to-raspberry-pi-from-a-mac-using-ethernet.html

Worked a charm.
