I'm trying to get an SFTP connection working in PhpStorm. It works fine in FileZilla.
In the SSH config section of the STFP config, I enter host, username and auth type (password) and click Test Connection. It connects fine.
If I click OK and go dialog level back and click Test Connection on the main SFTP config, I get Connection to dev.the-server.net failed. EOF while reading packet error. Like wise when I close the SFTP config dialog, there is an EOF while reading packet error where a directory listing should be.
If I use the same credentials and connect by FTPS, I can get a remote directory listing and download files, but I get the end of file error trying to upload.
This all seems to be PhpStorm issue because I can upload and download fine with FileZilla. For workflow reasons, I really need PhpStorm to connect.
Any thoughts on where to start?

Restarting PhpStorm helped to solve the problem.
For me, it failed because sftp-server was configured with the wrong path in sshd_config, and this link saved me. so:
Find the correct path of sftp-server (the whereis sftp-server command may be help), e.g. /usr/libexec/sftp-server.
Set the correct path in sshd_config (most likely in /etc/ssh/sshd_config), e.g. Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/sftp-server.
Restart the sshd server (possibly /etc/init.d/sshd restart or /usr/sbin/sshd restart).
Restart your IDE.
In my case I've changed SSH settings, restarted SSH service, restarted PHPStorm but it didn't help. But when I restarted the whole server and then tried again it started to working again.
In my case I didn't install openssh in server. You can try this command.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
sudo systemctl enable ssh
sudo systemctl start ssh

I was trying to set up mongo server on Windows 10.
It looked like everything alright and the service was listening on 27017.
However on another command prompt, mongo failed to connect and the screen just froze as follow
I've checked the firewall rule, port 27017 is open. And ping 127.0.0.1 is responding.
Any idea why the connection would get stuck?
Try running mongo.exe with verbose mode
c:\mongodb\bin>mongo.exe --verbose
This will help you diagnose this further.
I have just got this situation.
Solution: Edit mongo configuration
mongodb.conf
linux: sudo nano /etc/mongodb.conf
and disable auth=true. Then restart mongo server service.
linux: sudo service mongodb restart
Incorrect config authentication steps lead to this hanging in mongo shell.
After that, config following this link: https://medium.com/#matteocontrini/how-to-setup-auth-in-mongodb-3-0-properly-86b60aeef7e8
Then re-enable auth=true
I would like to install the Windows version of Perforce in a network location so that users can call p4 via:
\\somewhere\p4.exe -p server:1666 -c some_client_name sync
where "somewhere" is consistently mapped on all Windows machines. I tried to do this by installing locally, then copying p4.exe to \\somewhere.
On the computer where I installed locally, \\somewhere\p4.exe works just fine. But when I switch to another machine and try to run
\\somewhere\p4.exe -p server:1666 info
I get the following error:
Perforce client error
Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
TCP connect to server:1666 failed.
A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup.
What does this error mean? I couldn't find any information in the documentation; I suspect I might need another file besides p4.exe. Indeed, when I install Perforce locally on the other machine, using the local p4.exe works, but \\somewhere\p4.exe still does not.
Any pointers?
Thanks!
You shouldn't need any other files besides P4.exe.
The TCP connection error is probably because that other machine isn't able to translate "server" into an IP address.
Try using some of the Windows command line tools to diagnose this, as in:
nslookup server
or
ping server
Also, try changing your test to run:
\\somewhere\p4.exe -p NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN:1666 info
where the "NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN" is the IP address of your server machine.
When I try downloading a file from my server onto my computer, it actually downloads the file onto the server.
(Note I am already SSH'd into my server before typing this command. I've watched tutorials on YouTube and people are using their terminal without SSHing into any particular server, however I don't think I can do this with PuTTY on Windows?)
scp -r -P2222 kwazy#mywebsite.example:/home2/kwazy/www/utrecht-connected.nl ~/Desktop/
The problem is that I am specifying the location to download the file as only ~/Desktop/
This creates a folder called Desktop in my server, instead of copying the files onto my local desktop.
I am able to use this command on Linux.
I have successfully download the folder onto my desktop:
I still need insight onto how I can do this on a Windows machine.
There's no way to initiate a file transfer back to/from local Windows from a SSH session opened in PuTTY window.
Though PuTTY supports connection-sharing.
While you still need to run a compatible file transfer client (pscp or psftp), no new login is required, it automatically (if enabled) makes use of an existing PuTTY session.
To enable the sharing see:
Sharing an SSH connection between PuTTY tools.
Even without connection-sharing, you can still use the psftp or pscp from Windows command line.
See How to use PSCP to copy file from Unix machine to Windows machine ...?
Note that the scp is OpenSSH program. It's primarily *nix program, but you can run it via Windows Subsystem for Linux or get a Windows build from Win32-OpenSSH (it is already built-in in the recent versions of Windows 10 and in Windows 11).
If you really want to download the files to a local desktop, you have to specify a target path as %USERPROFILE%\Desktop (what typically resolves to a path like C:\Users\username\Desktop).
Alternative way is to use WinSCP, a GUI SFTP/SCP client. While you browse the remote site, you can anytime open SSH terminal to the same site using Open in PuTTY command.
See Opening Session in PuTTY.
With an additional setup, you can even make PuTTY automatically navigate to the same directory you are browsing with WinSCP.
See Opening PuTTY in the same directory.
(I'm the author of WinSCP)
try this scp -r -P2222 kwazy#mywebsite.example:/home2/kwazy/www/utrecht-connected.nl /Desktop
Another easier option if you're going to be pulling files left and right is to just use an SFTP client like WinSCP. Then you're not typing out 100 characters every time you want to pull something, just drag and drop.
Just noticed /Desktop probably isn't where you're looking to download the file to. Should be something like C:\Users\you\Desktop
OpenSSH has been added to Windows as of autumn 2018, and is included in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019.
So you can use it in command prompt or power shell like bellow.
C:\Users\Parsa>scp parsa#192.168.100.11:/etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml F:\Temporary
parsa#192.168.100.11's password:
cassandra.yaml 100% 66KB 71.3KB/s 00:00
C:\Users\Parsa>
(I know this question is pretty old now but this can be helpful for newcomers to this question)
if you install git with git bash, you get SCP available on windows.
You can use WinSCP : https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
Or MobaXterm : https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html
It feels like FTP client. Also I don't remember setting up anything on my machine for this. It just fresh install and install SSH server (IDK if it matters though).
For MobaXterm :
If your server have a http service you can compress your directory and download the compressed file.
Compress:
tar -zcvf archive-name.tar.gz -C directory-name .
Download throught your browser:
http://the-server-ip/archive-name.tar.gz
If you don't have direct access to the server ip, do a ssh tunnel throught putty, and forward the 80 port in some local port, and you can download the file.
You can use the WinSPC program. Its access to any server is pretty easy. The program gives its guide too. I hope it's helpfull.
If you need something with GUI you can use FileZilla. it support SFTP.
It's perfectly working with ssh and you can even edit files and it will automatically upload the changes.
I am trying to use rsub to create tunnel in ssh to sublime text, I run the command rmate .profile but i get the following response. I am using wateroof to open the ports 52968 on 1p4 and ip6, I followed the insturctions here and its just not working
I am running osx on my local machine and ubuntu 12.04 on my remote machine I am ssh into on digitalocean
root#anderskitson:~# rmate .profile
/usr/local/bin/rmate: connect: Connection refused
/usr/local/bin/rmate: line 186: /dev/tcp/localhost/52698: Connection refused
Unable to connect to TextMate on localhost:52698
I was having the same problem.
Let remoteHost = the IP or hostname of the machine you're attempting to ssh to.
I ran ssh -R 52698:localhost:52698 remoteHost from my local machine, after whice rmate .profile on remoteHost worked.
That led me to determine that ~/.ssh/config on my local machine was incorrect.
I set ~/.ssh/config to look like this:
Host remoteHost
RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
It's been working solidly since I made that change.
For anyone getting this same error using PuTTy on Windows, this commenter gives great instructions:
In PuTTy's config window, nagivate to the Connection > SSH > Tunnels pane
In the "Source Port" field, type 52698
In the "Destination" field, type 127.0.0.1:52698
Select the "Remote" and "Auto" radio buttons
Click the "Add" button
Go to the Session pane and save if you want to preserve these settings.
Here's an image which does the explaining visually:
I had the same issue and here is what works for me. If you have multiple servers you want this to work for, do the following as exactly shown here:
Host *
RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
I consulted this link: configure SSH config file and realized you can use * in config file.
Wildcards are also available to allow for options that should have a
broader scope.
I was trying to set this up for the first time using VS Code and got the generic "Connection refused" error even though my configuration seemed fine. It turned out to be because I hadn't reloaded the IDE after installing the rmate extension (Remote VSCode). Make sure that the rmate server is active on your local machine, whatever IDE you're using.
I had the same problem and fixed with replacing the HOSTNAME with the actual IP-Address when connecting:
e.g.: ssh pi#raspberrypi.local to ssh pi#192.168.1.1
I had the same problem and gone through most of the blogs, I did everything that was told.
At last, I found myself that textmate or submile editors are closed(force quit), this caused the problem.
For example my SSH config ~/.ssh/config file to connect with DigitalOcean with Remote Forward looks like:
Host DigitalOcean
Hostname xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
User username
RemoteForward 52698 localhost:52698
and is called in a terminal
ssh DigitalOcean
rmate then connects fine with my local Atom editor
rmate stopped working for no apparent reason. Turns out I had tripped the 'man in the middle' check. I saw this warning when doing ssh --
\###########################################################
# WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! #
###########################################################
In my case, this warning was expected so I ignored it. This may not apply for you, so verify host identity. Didn't realize this line at the end of the warning --
Port forwarding is disabled to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.
No wonder rmate stopped working. Verifying host identity and then clearing out offending entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts made the warning go away and rmate started working again.
I run into this issue occasionally, and at least for my setup (which might be quite particular), I have found that killing zombie instances of ssh sessions does the job.
My particular setup :
I run Linux through a VM (VMWare Fusion) on my OSX host. Then I ssh into the the Linux host from OSX, and launch sublime from the Linux side. I usually have several ssh sessions running.
I recently rebooted my Mac (without first shutting down the VM, which was probably bad), and once I got back into the VM, was unable to launch Sublime - got the "connection refused" error mentioned by the OP.
So I did a ps aux on the Linux side, and looked for all instances of :
root 657399 0.0 0.1 13956 9332 ? Ss 14:52 0:00 sshd: user [priv]
user 657461 0.0 0.0 14088 5420 ? S 14:52 0:00 sshd: user#pts/1
(where user is my username). I killed the user jobs, e.g. 657461 above, and Voila! Every thing works now. Of course, in the process of killing these jobs, you are likely to kill the ssh session you are currently in, so you will have to log back into your session.
This might not work for users who don't have the necessary kill privileges on their remote machine, so don't know how useful this is, but thought I would put it out there.
I just figured how to connect to my webhost with PuTTy .
But how to I connect to my localhost? I put
Servername: localhost
port: 22 (I've tried 80 too)
And it gives me an error "failed to connect"
How do I connect?
If you are using Cygwin on your local host, you can connect to Cygwin's sshd (SSH Daemon).
3 easy commands to install the sshd as a service: (always there when you startup the machine)
$ ssh-host-config -y # enable sshd. "-y" answers yes to all queries.
$ cygrunsrv --start sshd # start it as an autostart Windows service
$ ssh localhost # try to recursively log in via ssh
Taken from: http://nfnaaron.posterous.com/tag/puttycyg#Section2
(The second approach)
=> You get the entire ssh infrastructure: public key authentication, ssh-agent, etc...
Ensure that you have running a SSH server (such as openssh-server) running on localhost and not just a web server (such as apache). Also ensure, that localhost is really mapping to 127.0.0.0/8
The solution in the answer above won't work unless you have installed Cygwin with the OpenSSH package selected - you have to do this manually during the installation process (see option a below).
Depending on the intended purpose of your connection you can try one of the options below, option (b) being much easier to install but lacking the *nix shell capabilities.
a. You can install a Cygwin shell with ssh server, this site (http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~kscully/CygwinSSHD_W2K3.html) has instructions for Windows Server but they work for other Windows too with may be some of the questions shown in the output on the page not appearing on non-server version of Windows. Also, where it says in the instructions to issue the command:
mount -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /
delete the -s option so that the command is
mount --change-cygdrive-prefix /
(at least this was the case for me on Windows 7).
b. PuTTy site suggests WinSSHD (http://www.bitvise.com/winsshd-download). It's an easy self-installer. Once it's up you have to click onthe StartSSHD link about 1/3rd of the screen down on the first page of the config window. Then you can connect your PuTTy to localhost. However, in my experience, it didn't provide any *nix command support, only the native Windows ones and I couldn't find anything in their user guide on this.
Hope this helps.
Just adding this answer in case anyone is still looking for a solution.
In your hostname (or IP address) section, enter localhost or 127.0.0.1
Leave the port to its default value 22
Click on open
Now a login shell will popup -
Log in as your username, your username is basically what you get when you type whoami in your Terminal.
In the password section, type the password that you use as your system's password.
The above steps should connect localhost with ssh(PuTTY)
