SFTP Access on CentOS Server

  • 772

I have a CentOS server with a plesk control panel installed, I used to login using SFTP with the root password to manage the files. However, and all of a sudden, I am not able to access the server using SFTP and I get this error when using CuteFTP

ERROR:>     [4/18/2012 5:18:31 PM] Connection to the server was lost, and the operation could not be performed.
ERROR:>     [4/18/2012 5:18:31 PM] Can't connect to localkicks.com:22. SFTP21 error = #7. 0

I tried restarrting sshd on linux but with no luck, how do I troubleshoot this?

Appreciate the help.

    I tried WinSCP and it works now, however i'm not sure why in the first place the sftp was not working

  2. You've answered your own question, but it's good to know why things fail. http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10353.aspx might help. WinSCP is excellent, I'd use that over CuteFTP but I have a strong bias against FTP in general. You might also want to check out lftp, an awesome command-line s/ftp client.
