in unix capitalization makes a difference.

The capital -V gives you the version of ssh running. instead try it with multiple lower case v's like someone else said.

oops, I meant to reply to another message, not start a new post.

Anyhow, ssh only takes three lower case v's at a maximum. And you'll still need to give it the ip or hostname you're trying to get to.
