I am facing strange issue, I am using Centos6. I can connect to ssh but i am unable to connect to SFTP. now the strange part is, if i restart server, SFTP starts working again for few mins, and then again goes time out.

It shows only 1 error, server time out. I tried to even create new user, but not worked.

When it was new server, it was all working fine, this have been happening from last week. I even checked the sshd_config file, the passwordauthentication is enabled, the ssh path on last line is enabled as well.

    Not client-side; server-side.

  • I am not a pro user, sir but is there any thing like clearing cache?anywhere in ssh? which might be a problem? But SSH is working just fine. server load is 0.25.

  • if you run $ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa (change key path) in your client, Filezilla probably work.

  • Important: Filezilla logon type must be "interactive"
