The exact error should be visible in Filezilla's connection log, but should also have been fixed in 15.10 since release so an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and a restart of sshd should fix it. -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood "TBA are particularly glib" -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

SFTP does not involve SSL/TLS, it uses the SSH protocol. Despite the unfortunate similarities in name, SFTP is completely different to FTP (and FTPS, which is FTP over TLS). -- Paul Waring Freelance consultant http://www.pwaring.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

The workaround is to set the connection to use 'Plain FTP' in Filezilla connection manager. This is probably OK In your setup but the correct thing to do would be to make sure that openssh is up to date and configured correctly.

What happens if you use sftp on the command-line, i.e. sftp user@host If that works, the problem might be with Filezilla. -- Paul Waring Freelance consultant http://www.pwaring.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] SFTP Problem
Hi I've just installed Xubuntu 15.10 on an Acer netbook. I've installed Xubuntu many times before but not 15.10. It works fine. My standard routine is to next install openSSH-server and SSHFS, then start the SSH service. The situation now is that I can SSH into the box and I can mount its file system on a remote computer using SSHFS. For all that success, though, I cannot access the box from any other using Filezilla (SFTP). It just hangs then times out. I know it's not a problem with Filezilla per se as all my other laptops can "see" each other through it. Can anybody suggest where the cause may lie? Permissions perhaps?
