WinSCP connect to Ubuntu. Access Denied
Well the port 22 is for SSH service. So you can probably try installing openssh-server in your ubuntu by typing
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
and then try connecting with the following details:
protocol: SSH
hostname: [IP Address of the computer]
port: 22
username: [username]
password: [password]
Hopefully this should work.
First look at auth.log
on the system.
cat /var/log/auth.log
In my case with WinSCP, I found something like this:
fatal: no matching mac found: client hmac-sha1,hmac-sha1-96,hmac-md5 server hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,hmac-ripemd160 [preauth]
And comment the line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
:
MACs hmac-sha2-512,hmac-sha2-256,hmac-ripemd160
don't forget to restart ssh :-) Hope this can help some one.
