@mitu ahh ok that's what I thought. Then yes, step 1 and 2 are complete. I keep getting remote side unexpectedly closed network connection message from putty

Still getting the same error when I enter systemctl status ssh

@Jste84 Strange - are you sure your SD card is ok ? After step 1 - removing the host key files -, can you check that the files are really removed from /etc/ssh ?

SD card is new, bought from a store rather than online, so absolutely shouldn't have any issues.

Silly question, but how would I know if they'd been removed? Or if they were there to begin with?

Also how do I check etc/ssh?

You can use mc (Midnight Commander) to browse the filesystem, or just run

ls -l /etc/ssh

to see if the files you removed in Step 1 are still there.

OK, so it's obvious you didn't delete the files - if you put # in front of a command, the command is never executed because # is a comment marker, everything after it it's ignored.
Do this for Step 1:

sudo rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*

then repeat Step 2.

i'm getting a message to say permission denied?

At which part ? If it's the ls command (list), then it's ok, you can ignore it and proceed to Step 2.
