SSH Client Quit Working in El Captain

I can't connect to remote host using the built in SSH client found in Mac OSX El Captain.

However, I can connect to remote SSH host using a Windows machine and Putty.


Here's the output from one host connection attempt:

CARLs-MacBook-Pro:~ Johnnie$ ssh -vvv -l pi 193.168.1.20

OpenSSH_6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 21: Applying options for *

debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0

debug1: Connecting to 193.168.1.20 [193.168.1.20] port 22.

debug1: connect to address 193.168.1.20 port 22: Operation timed out

ssh: connect to host 193.168.1.20 port 22: Operation timed out


Here's the output from another host connection attempt:

CARLs-MacBook-Pro:~ Johnnie$ ssh -vvv -l root 193.168.1.3

OpenSSH_6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8

Are you really using 193.*.*.* addresses?


Typically a home network is using 192.168.*.* addresses.


192.168.*.* is a non-routing address and will not be sent out to the internet at large, but 193.168.*.* address will pass through your router and sent to somewhere in the world


IP address 193.168.1.3 is a Public IP of type IPv4, located in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Europe.

IP address 193.168.1.20 is a Public IP of type IPv4, located in Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Europe.
