Sftp and Ftp problems

Hi, I have problem with setting up sftp even ftp at the vps.
I installed ssh-server, also vsftpd, install user with a password, but connection refsed by the server using sybrduck on mac.
Any ideas were i am wrong?

Hi,

could you please provide some log entries from vsFTPd?

gregbg

i am not sure how to go to this log entries ...?

Roman

You should be able to see all log files under the /var/log catalog in the VPS. Just login with root and type:

cd /var/log

then

ls

if you see FTP service log file, then execute:

cat file_name.log

and paste results here.

Hi Greg,

Please contact our support department and we will provide help for you. It will require us to login to your server.

In case anyone was wondering, some Openvz templates include forced ciphers in the default sshd_config file that breaks a lot of SFTP clients, like Filezilla, from working.

Doubt that was the issue here if vsftpd was broken too though
