When we connect to server via SFTP using Filezilla we receive “Connection refused” error.
host: droplet ip address
port: 22
user and pass like in hosting account.
Also we try to use login “root” and pass from hosting account.
Please help
Hi @luccijenya,
Can you please make sure the following is present in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match group sftponly
ChrootDirectory /home/%u
X11Forwarding no
AllowTcpForwarding no
ForceCommand internal-sftp
Additionally, Often SFTP error arises when ssh is not properly installed on the server. So, when you try to connect to SFTP server it always gives error “ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 22: Connection refused“.
In Linux servers, we check and make sure that SSH is installed properly by executing the command
dpkg --get-selections | grep ssh
If there is an error, then we install it correctly by running the command:
apt-get install openssh-server
Finally, we restart the service and ensure that the user could connect to SFTP server without any failure.
