What is the importance of verifying the SSH server's configuration when troubleshooting the 10060 error related to Kaspersky?

Even if Kaspersky is the primary suspect, it is critical to confirm that the SSH server is correctly configured and running. Check if the SSH service is active, the server is listening on the expected port (usually port 22), and that the server's firewall (if any) allows SSH traffic. Confirm the SSH server’s configuration files aren't blocking the client's IP address or that the server isn't experiencing resource exhaustion. Server logs will often pinpoint the root cause.
