Transfer Virtualmin Server fails - SSH is likely candidate

Trying to transfer a VS fails on SSH login to destination

Hi. I am trying to transfer example.com from a Virtualmin GPL v5.05 to a Virtualmin Pro 5.05. However, the system reports:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Failed to transfer server : Failed to contact Virtualmin on destination system : ssh: connect to host mail.net2airhosting.co.uk port 22: Connection refused XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I'm guessing that I have not set up SSH correctly on the destination, but a) I'm not sure if that's the case, and b) even if it is the case, I'm not sure what I need to change!

All pointers most welcome (and in case you are wondering, I'm trying to login as 'root' and I have checked the password. TIA

Are you running the SSH server on the remote system on a custom port?

If so, you need to enter the destination hostname like mail.net2airhosting.co.uk:2222
