Hi,
I have sshd and sftp running on my remote linux box. But when I tried to
sftp from my desktop into any domains on the server I get the following
error:
Fatal: unable to initialise SFTP: could not connect
I have tried several different sftp clients and no luck. I consulted some
FAQs on openssh.com and the problem maybe in my sftp shell initialization.
This is from openssh.com: <<sftp and/or scp may fail at connection time if
you have shell initialization (.profile, .bashrc, .cshrc, etc) which
produces output for non-interactive sessions. This output confuses the
sftp/scp client.>>
Does anyone know how I can modify my shell initialization to allow sftp to
connect?
As i said sftp is running from within the server which has got me even more
confused.
Below is the contents of my sshd_config. Any help is greatly appreciated.
