ssh via usb stopped working

All was working fine at 2am this morning. I went to bed, got up at 8am, decided to carry on with last nights idea, opened puTTY to connect to my Jolla1 but the ssh window stays blank - no prompt for password, nothing, just a flashing cursor in puTTY window.

I've restarted Developer Mode, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled Developer mode, tried a new profile in puTTY, but still I cannot connect. I don't understand how it can be working the night before and then in the morning, no more SSH'ing into my PC - what gives?, anyone else experienced this scenario?

I don't have wifi, so I cannot test that avenue. I have tried another USB cable, no difference (existing cable works for PC Suite mode and I can transfer data back and forth, but still no access via SSH with puTTY.

Any suggestions welcomed.

It's the same deal if I try to connect to WinSCP with my Jolla1, the connection window just sits at "Searching for host" and the connection times out.

Any suggestions welcomed.
