I am connecting to remote server via SFTP using PuTTY.

I am able to connect it from my local Windows 7 machine. However, when I connect it from Windows Server 2012 R2, it gives me following error -

PuTTY Fatal Error

"Network Error: Connection Refused"

enter image description here

I am not sure whether it is related to SSH service/telnet service. Can someone help me resolve this issue?

Connection Refused means that you are not allowed to connect in that manner to the target device. Practically, either the port is not allowed/correct, the connection type (telnet, SSH, SFTP, etc) or the IP you want to connect from (may be not allowed in the device's configuration).

Check the target device and make sure it allows the type of connectivity you require.

It's rare though on occasion documentation actually contains the answers:

A2 does not use the default SSH port 22. Please SSH to port 7822.

Check to see if your web host has changed the port number or if you've accidentally changed the port number in the program.
