Hi,

I am configuring SFTP on the server and below changes has been done on /etc/ssh/sshd_config file

# line 135: comment out and add a line like below
#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no

# systemctl restart sshd

Let me know if anything else need to configure for SFTP.

Thanks..

Do you actually HAVE a program called "internal-sftp"?? Normally the "sftp-server" line is what you uncomment. And if you want to know if it works or not, why didn't you just TRY IT? Would have been faster than posting here.

sftp should have worked out-of-the-box if ssh was working.
None of the changes you made should significantly change sftp operation. You made a change to the settings for X11 forwarding and TCP forwarding that really have little to do with sftp. (NOT to say that those settings are bad ideas.)

The only thing you have done to sftp is move service from the external executable to the internal server. That is a correct change had you specified OTHER settings supported by the internal server, but you have not done that.

What is your intent? What are you trying to get sftp to do differently than the default behavior?

Thanks for your response.. I tried with with above configuration but it did not work. I forgot to update this. My bad..!!

And if you post a problem description of something other than "did not work", we might be able to help.

Any comment on this? I am not able to configure SFTP.

I’m pretty sure we’re all waiting for more from you than “it did not work”.

If a firewall is active on the server, check that you have allowed access to this service.

So, what happens when you try to connect via SFTP?
What is the exact message in log file on server, and what is the exact message on client?

What, exactly, do you think that copying and pasting your first post AGAIN, is going to tell us??? You've been asked questions which you either haven't answered, or haven't answered clearly. You've provided no information about any error(s)/message(s), or even told us what version/distro of Linux you're using. Restating your same question is pointless.

There are THOUSANDS of tutorials you can find on how to enable sftp..have you followed any of them?
