Problem facing while using SFTP


Hi All,

While I am connecting to a windows server from linux server using SFTP.

It is showing

Connecting to <IPADRESS>...
Permission denied (publickey).
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

FTP is working fine. Files are also copied in windows server also.

Is there any set up needed for SFTP?

Thanks in Advance

Hi.
The problem that you have seems to be on Windows. It's not appropriate to this forum. Perhaps you can post it on Non-*NIX Forums

Your problem seems to be the lack of your linux pub key on windows side. I assume you are running some ssh server on windows. If you are not then you can't connect. Also notice that sftp is not ftp.

It is a public key issue.

The key authentication fails. There is a paramter in the configuration file controls what kinds of authentication methods will be attempted. You can choose to authenticate by keys only (in your case) or by password if key authentication fails. I don't remember which parameter it is. Read the manpage and change the parameter to allow password authentication and you would be able to sftp with password. If you don't have the priviledge to change the configuration file, you can use the option in the command line.

SFTP is totally different from FTP. it is an extension of SSH.
You can login like this only if you have installed ssh server on windows.
you can also try Cygwin.
