Dear all,

I've problem to get connection via sftp.

Before that, I did check the SSH service in both servers.
But both starting up already.

# chkconfig --list sshd
sshd 0

ff 1

ff 2

n 3

n 4

n 5

n 6

ff

but I do start also the SSH with
# /etc/init.d/sshd start
Starting sshd: [ OK ]

however, it seem kept trying to connect the server during sftp.

And I didn't see the sftp, during 'ps -ef | grep sftp'....

Kindly advise.

Thank you

You only need the sshd service running on one machine, the machine you wish to connect to (unless you really need to make ssh connections both ways).

If the SSH server is running ok then on the other machine, the machine you wish to connect from, you open an sftp connection like this:
sftp user@host.domain

Does this work? If not, what error?

To check that SSH itself is working, open a shell connection from the client machine to the server like this:
ssh user@host.domain

Does this work?
