So I'm guessing the host is down =). But I can still access it and see my files through my.pogoplug.com. Also if I run the Pogoplug app, I can see a drive mounted in Finder (I'm on a Mac), but when I try to access it the Finder freezes.

I've contacted Pogoplug support about it but they have given me non-smart answers, like if my ISP is banning Pogoplug :-/.

Did you restart your Pogoplug?

Wow, that did it! Amazing! :) For anyone watching: I ejected all attached drives through the web and then plugged out the device and then plugged it back in and now SSH works!

Thanks nomadic!
