Thread: Openssh-server working, sftp-server not

i have vps account running ubuntu in openvz. i'm prepping use , have sshd configured allow either pubkey or password authentication now. works great except sftp.

reason cannot sftp-server working(part of openssh-server), ssh works , have same configuration on different server works sshd/sftp. think might unique vm template host.



attempting connect using nautilus or sftp terminal throws error message:

"could not open location 'sftp://user@exampleortnumber/directory/blah'

ssh program unexpectedly exited"



using filezilla says "error: could not connect server."


trying start sftp-server on commandline host seems result in stopped instance of sftp-server when reviewed using top.


in advance help.

i'm not sure how critical sftp you, maybe can try using scp instead though! it's similar sytax.

you'd have filezilla docs, command line its:
scp -p22 user@domain.com:/tmp/foo /local/directory
