sftp now asking for password

Posted on November 18, 2014

Hi I’m on Ubuntu 14 trying to access sftp via the terminal. I am able to ssh in but when I try to sftp it asks for a password - it also doesn’t accept any of my passwords (root or user).

I was able to sftp into the server yesterday. This morning I did a server reboot after I was prompted to on log in. I also did apt-get update and upgrade. Would this have changed any settings related to sftp?
