Yes, you must have SSH enabled, you also need to be in the same network and enter the exact ip address.
If you have Raspbian Lite installed in your Raspberry Pi, you should have the SSH enabled by default I think….
Can you enable SSH and try again?

I have lite installed and the problems was just that the SSH wasn’t enabled bybdefault. Now it’s working
