Cannot Access SFTP Server in Ubuntu 12.04
I have recently installed the Ubuntu 12.04 LAMP stack but have not been able to connect to my SFTP server remotely.
I created a new user (per the Ubuntu setup guide) and disabled remote login with root. When I try to access the SFTP server (via Filezilla on Mac) with my new user account, I get the following response:
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "user@###.###.###.###" 22
Error: Connection refused
Error: Could not connect to server
When I try to login locally, sftp user@###.###.###.###, I get the following:
ssh: connect to ###.###.###.### port 22: Connection refused
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
I have been scouring the message boards for days and have had no luck in finding a solution. Could anyone please help?
