  • This error means that port `22` is closed or nobody is listening to it. Are you sure you have `SSH` daemon running on windows machine? – GreenScape Apr 20 '15 at 10:33

The main think is that Windows Server doesn't contain ssh daemon in the box. You could install telnet server from the Windows components and connect from unix to windows machine by telnet command or use 3d-party ssh servers/cygwin.

More available on Server Fault or SO. (How ironic, both topics are closed as offtopic)
