The other questions are all great, but can you ssh from the server to itself as the desired user?  That is, ssh theSSHdude@localhost , which should hopefully rule out network issues ;-) I'll also mention that I had a weird issue with SSH where I could ssh from machine A to machine B, but not from B to A!  THAT turned out to be a netmask issue!  And ChatGPT ALMOST got the answer. You could try your favorite AI to see if it can help, but be sure to give it more info than you think you should - I should have given it the output of ifconfig on both computers and it probably would have caught it....
