Ssh
Please help me with my rectal/cranial inversion.
I am using Mandrake 10 - its a new/clean installation. I made sure the firewall is turned off. FTP and Open SSH servers are turned on. I can connect to a user account through FTP (but not root) so the connection seems ok. When I try to connect with SSH, the connection always closes without ever asking for a user name or password. My client is an XP machine. I have tried putty, OpenSSH, FiSSH, and TTSSH. I guess these things are too easy for me to figure them out, because I have had no progress in getting any of then to connect. Also, is there a way to configure Mandrake so you can FTP via root? Can you SSH via root? Thnx in advance |
It's best not to open connections for root, instead, connect via ssh as your username then "su" to root. Transfer files through ssh using the "scp" command.
edit: As to your server, check the settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and check that sshd is running. |
Well, kool, thnx, I looked through sshd_config though and nothing jumped out at me.
I did a ps -C and found a PID for sshd, so it should be running right? I know it something friking simple which is why its really agrivating me. |
