Cant connect to my Cisco SG300-10 switch via SSH Putty

[Pabsgc]

I can connect to the GUI and have tried to enable the SSH client and server authentication by password, the IP is in the right subnet (or else im guessing I wouldnt be able to access the GUI via URL).

Ive connected a different cisco switch in this same way (ethernet port to laptop) but putty just says 'Connection refused'.

Any help would be appreciated.

 - Probably some setting related to ssh access is still wrong , scrutinize the settings following the link below :

Hello,

hard to say what causes this. Check if your settings match those outlined in the document below:
