How to setup Putty to access ssh.pythonanywhere.com

I've been trying to use Putty to access my account but with no luck. Below are my putty settings...

Hostname: ssh.pythonanywhere.com Port: 22

Are there specific settings within putty to allow the connection?

That should be enough -- what error are you getting?

I specify

Hostname: ssh.pythonanywhere.com Port: 22

after that I give my username as login and my password.

I have a free account, I do not know if maybe my account type can be the problem

Thanks

Yes, it's because you have a free account -- SSH is only enabled for paid accounts.
