A13 Debian: SFTP / SSH not working

[vfaraci]

What works:
ssh localhost works
sftp localhost works
ping <remote site> works

What doesn't work:
ssh <remote site> does not work, gives error message:
ssh: connect to host <remote site> port 22: Connection timed out

sftp <remote site> does not work, gives error message:
sftp: connect to host <remote site> port 22: Connection timed out

Suspect some sort of configuration error.
Please help, thanks in advance,
Vito Faraci Jr.

Does the remote site have sshd running?

Is there a firewall blocking SSH (port 22)?
