ssh password problem

[crusader247]

on my OS X i dont have a password for my user, and when I try to ssh from my linux (or even from the OS X itself) i get the following error after putting no password:

Permission denied, please try again.

Do I have to have an OS X password in order to ssh? PS, i can FTP fine with no password.

To connect to an ssh server you need an account on the server. This is true regardless of hosting platform. Anonymous FTP is normal (though not necessarily wise) but anonymous ssh is not.

If someone were so inclined they could create and authorize an "anonymous" account to connect without password, but that is unwise and borders on stupid. SSH gives you shell access to a server, not something to give out without authentication.
