How to enable SFTP for my NAT VPS?

dzungbb · 2017-12-20 15:50:20

Hello.
Could anyone tell me how to connect to my NAT VPS with SFTP?
I can connect to it with Putty but dont know how to use SFTP.
Thank you.

Try WinSCP (https://winscp.net/eng/). You do not need to enable anything on the VPS.

You can use a normal FTP client which supports SFTP, such as FileZilla.

don't forget to use the ssh forwarded port and not port 22

I'm not sure if this question will get answered, but I'm having some trouble with pulling the OpenVPN config file.

I installed nano and used "nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config" to change the port to the SSH port specified in the helpful Knowledgebase calculator (https://hosting.gullo.me/plugin/support … ew/17/p2/5).

But whenever I try to use WinSCP to connect to my External IP + SSH port edited in the sshd_config file, along with root/mypw for the credentials, the connection doesn't go through. It may be helpful (?) to note that my external IP + port 22 and a console-XXX/pw combination in the Serial Console section in my SolusVM has a successful connection but then refuses due to a large size of some sort.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Have you restarted sshd?

I did input "service restart sshd" but it doesn't return anything; just goes to the next line. I wasn't sure if it was actually restarting so I went ahead and rebooted as well.

depending on what ports you have assigned to your server and the port you set in your sshd_config file... it could also be the case that you set the config to a port that isn't forwarded to your server.

I've double checked that aspect - port is 1x820 which is the same as the one returned to me by the tool I linked above.

Gullo is not a part of LES, can’t say anything about the tool you linked to.
Who is your provider? Since you are using that tool, I assume it is Gullo?

Yep! Should have mentioned it.

I think you will have better luck opening a ticket with Gullo
