how to use ssh?

[icecube]

hi all
i have been using telnet for long time ..now i decided to switch on to ssh .
im using FC4 sshd is running
but from the terminal iwhen i use the command
ssh user@ssh.xx.xxx.xx.xxx

i get ssh: ssh.xx.xxx.xx.xxx: Name or service not known
so what is the problem the firewall is enabled to use ssh

regards

What are you using for a client program? Also, what platform is the client on (linux, Windows, etc.). SSH is just like Telnet (but secure), you just issues the command 'ssh <ip_address>' if you are using the command line program.

ssh hostname.domainname.tld -l username

NOT

ssh user@ssh.xx.xxx.xx.xxx
