putty connection

[futureyoon]

Hi

I installed wordpress litespeed from AWS instance. I can see wordpress running and can access to wp backend (wp-admin).

Now I would like to access to the site using putty.
In the instance, I opened 1-65535 TCP 0.0.0.0/0 (which is default setting coming with this image, I will change it later)

In putty,
I try my IP address with port 80 and in SSH > Auth, I chose the privatekey for the intance.

but when I tried to access, putty fatal error.
Remote site unexpectedly closed network connection

What did I do wrong and what do I need to config to make this work?

Please help!

Thank you
P.S. I can access SSH from AWS Instance.

You need to use the right port for SSH access. Port 80 can't be the right port.

Let's say I wanna use port 8286. do I need to set anything to use that port?

In the instance, I already opened 1-65535 TCP 0.0.0.0/0

Please help

You may not open all ports, otherwise you are open for everything. This is a high security risk. Only open such ports you really need, but each port for a certain service. For SSH you must configure your system to tell your system which port is for SSH.
