Cannot connect via sftp - always get "Broken Pipe"
by BryceB from LinuxQuestions.org on (#581MW)
I am using Linux Mint 20, and I followed this tutorial on setting up sftp: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-setup...al-fossa-linux
The last step is to check to make sure everything works by connecting to via the terminal. So I attempt to do so:
Code:~$ sftp sftpuser@127.0.0.1It prompts me for the password, and I type it in. I'm immediately given this as output:
Code:client_loop: send disconnect: Broken pipe
Connection closedI have also tried to connect via other ftp clients, and all get the same result.
Any thoughts as to what I might have configured wrong?
