Hi All,

I can use scp to move files from a linux to my Freebsd machine.

But, when I try to use WinSCP under windows, it always failed. WinSCP
errors: "Network error: Connection refused". Both scp & sftp fail if using
WinSCP.

Any clues for this?

on FreeBSD:
        man sftp says -v option exists
        man ssh also offers -v
so try both those from Win/Lose/Mickesoft (*),
Also ref.
        man sshd
try
         kill -9 `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`
or hash out sshd line in /etc/inetd.conf & then
        kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
& then run  as root
        /usr/sbin/sshd -D -d
&
        more /var/run/auth.log

(*) PS I hate MS & dont use it, but doesnt invalidate debug stuff above
though, except you might need to start ssh from a command line to
add a parameter, rather than just clicking.

Here is how I have setup secure ftp for our users:

LAFN now provides a ftp server that handles the ftp-ssl and ftp-tls protocols (RFC-2228). These protocols will encrypt the user id and password and can also be configured to encrypt the file contents if desired. The standard ftp port, 21, is used for both encrypted and non-encrypted ftp sessions. The older sftp, scp, and implicit ftp-ssl protocols are not supported. Obviously transfer times are longer if encryption is used. There are several Windows and Unix clients that support these protocols. The following clients are believed to work properly:

CuteFTP Pro 2.0         Windows
FileZilla 2.0.0 beta 5  Windows (GPL)
SmartFTP 1.0 build 969  Windows
WinSSLWrap 1.17         Windows
WS_FTP Pro 7.5  Windows
FTP Voyager Secure 9.1.0.1      Windows
Lftp 2.5.2      Unix

In addition there is a client available at http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru that will work with Windows 9x, NT, 2000, and some Linux distributions. The only known client for Macintosh is available in the LAFN FAQ. It only works with OS-X and is the command line client from the fstftpd-ssl distribution.


The client info above is a bit old, but is probably still accurate. There may be additional clients available now. On the server I use the bsdftpd-ssl port. It replaces the base ftpd. Several of the above clients are in regular use.
