linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have setup SFTP and have working from the command line thru a fios router on port 22 (the default). Server is on 12.04. laptop is on 11.04 filezilla works just fine both on the lan side and bouncing out of the lan to the DYNDNS site to access the sshd server. When I make the change on the server of Port=2222, then the command line sftp still works bouncing out to DYNDNS but filezilla (configured for the port 2222) in the site manager for the server site states Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Error: Could not connect to serve (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] filezilla not working with non-standard Port SFTP

I am using Filezilla to upload files to my web server. I am under a proxy server of my college. I edited FTP proxy in Filezilla Settings.

I am configuring a Cisco 877 router in a test environment. We use a non-standard port for SFTP, 3030. On my inbound ACL I am setting permit tcp any any eq 3030 but the remote SFTP connection is being refused.

We use a non-standard port for SQL too, and this is set on the same ACL, but works fine.

Hopefully you guys can help and see if I've done something weird here, I'm trying to log in with a user I set up, FileZilla shows me:

Command: open "///@///" Command: Pass: ******** Status: Connected to /// Error: Connection closed by server with exitcode 1 Error: Could not connect to server

So, I went into auth.log and I see this:

Feb 12 11:08:49 sshd[12056]: Accepted password for /// fr

This was working well until a couple of days ago. I can't recall having done anything to the server leading it to start closing the connection. Also I have no idea what exitcode 128 means, and can't find anything about it.

I configured SFTP on windows server by following this link http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/windows/openssh_sftp_server/index.php. But even after setup I am not able to connect to SFTP port on this server. How can i find configured SFTP port and access it?

Hi,

I get the below when i try to sftp to a remote server

Code: $ export SOCKS5C_CONFIG=~/.ssh/socks5c.conf   $ sftp -v -s /usr/lib/sftp-server -oPort=2222 -oIdentityFile=~/.ssh/wm_privat> Connecting to ftp01.wmgruppe.de... Sun_SSH_1.1.3, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originat

So I am trying to get ssh working on my server. I can connect on my local network with the local ip address of the server perfectly fine.

I would like to ceate SFTP user and limit access to a directory. So I created user and added following in configuration

Match user joe ChrootDirectory /storage/public ForceCommand /usr/libexec/sftp-server

However, it doesn't seems I can connect to server, i got error

ssh: connect to host 11.22.33.44 port 22: Connection refused

I setup a proftpd server that uses TLS/SSL certificate for authentication.

Everything works well when I connect through lftp or Filezilla (with explicit connection). But once I attempt connecting with simple ftp connection from Filezilla, the USER command ends with the 550 response (SSL/TLS required).
