However, when I issue the command
ssh desktop_user@desktop I get the following error message
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
This is disappointing
It seems that the issue is the SSH server is not running, is blocked by a firewall or a NAT router. Of course first check that you are using the correct IP address. Check in YaST2 > System > System Services (Runlevel) and make sure SSH is on and running. The firewall setup will be in YaST2> Security and Users > Firewall management and port 22 is what needs to be opened. If it is a NAT router issue, take a look at this site[1]. Once you get the SSH server running, you can follow the guide[2] to setting up key authentication. Everything should work exactly as published there.
