[solved] I want to start an SSH server
I would like to know how to start an ssh server, so I read the ssh article on ArchWiki. I start the daemon, allowed myself as a user, I know my server-address, and then execute said command:
ssh -p port user@server-address
Nothing happens, nothing but a blinking cursor. My /etc/resolv.conf states that I have two nameservers, but the result is the same, nothing happens.

Re: [solved] I want to start an SSH server
Ehmm... the "server-address" link you posted is about identifying the DNS servers you are using. In your ssh command, you need the address of the ssh server i.e. the computer that the ssh daemon is running on.

Then how do I find the address of my ssh server?

Try typing:
ip addr show | sed -n 's/.*inet \([0-9.]*\).*/\1/p' | grep -v '127.0.0.1'on the server. There's a good chance this will show the right ip address. (That's a guess.)

It did, and now I can log into my machine, which I wanted to try out for months. Thanks.
