    • @ITProTv
      @ITProTv  Před 3 lety +1

      It is the same command under current versions of CentOS, but the service name is "sshd" and not "ssh". Early versions of CentOS 7 did not support the --now argument, so you would need to do two commands: "sudo systemctl enable sshd && sudo systemctl start sshd" Prior to CentOS 7 you use a different set of commands: "sudo chkconfig sshd on && sudo service sshd start"

  • @s.akhtarjoomun263
    @s.akhtarjoomun263 Před 3 lety

    Hi... It didn't connect in my case. Do you think it's possibly because of the Windows 10 Enterprise that I have? I've heard that AppLocker doesn't allow the installation of a lot of software including filezilla to connect to other OS. I think the home version doesn't have that restriction, but I'm not sure.

    • @ITProTv
      @ITProTv  Před 3 lety

      It is more likely to be something blocking your connection on the Linux side than Windows so I would start troubleshooting there. This is especially true if you are actually able to launch FileZilla. AppLocker will block the app from running at all.

  • @ovonijemojeime
    @ovonijemojeime Před 3 lety

    Do you use this method because you can't use a Flash drive to transfer files from Windows to Linux?
    I'm thinking of switching to Linux and don't know what to do with my Windows documents (video, pictures etc.) My fear is that the Linux machine will not recognize the Flash drive and I won't be able to access my files.

    • @ITProTv
      @ITProTv  Před 3 lety +2

      A flash drive works just as well, but has a few drawbacks:
      1. The machines need to be in the same physical location so you can move the USB drive. SFTP works across the network.
      2. There is no easy way to encrypt data on the USB disk that would be compatible with both Windows and Linux. SFTP is encrypted by default.
      3. The only consistently supported filesystem that is compatible with Windows and Linux is FAT32 which has no journaling and cannot handle files over 4GB in size. SFTP does not have these limitations.

    • @ITProTv
      @ITProTv  Před 3 lety

      Double check your connection settings in FileZilla. Make sure you selected SFTP as the protocol. Assuming those settings are all correct, the next thing to check is Kali. There's a good chance that sshd is not enabled by default. Make sure the service is installed and running then try to connect again.

    Hello. I have done everything you said but still when I try to connect I get this error msg in Filezilla
    "Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity
    Error: Could not connect to server"
    Any Ideas what might be causing it?

    • @ITProTv
      @ITProTv  Před 3 lety

      This means you cannot "see" the server on the network and could be caused by a few things. First, check to make sure you have the server name or IP correct. Also, check that the right port number is being used. SSH uses TCP port 22. Next, test connectivity. Can you ping the Linux host from your Windows machine? Finally, check your firewall configuration on your Linux machine. It may be blocking incoming connections.

    • @ITProTv
      @ITProTv  Před 3 lety

      You may be running into user authentication issues. The permissions won't matter if your user account is not allowed in the first place. Double check your username and password to make sure they are valid. You can use SSH to test the connection.

      Not every Linux distro runs UFW. Yours might use firewalld, iptables, or even no firewall at all. You will have to check the documentation for your distribution of Linux.
