Re: How to set up a home SFTP server?
Filezilla works with sftp just type sftp://address into the connect box and if needed change the port box to whatever port ssh is listening to

And i think the Sftp server is built into openSSH

example.

you should then get the following in the log as it connects (so you know its trying on sftp)

Quote:
Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.100:22...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "dragon@192.168.1.100" 22
Command: Pass: ******************
Status: Connected to 192.168.1.100
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command: pwd
Response: Current directory is: "/home/dragon"
Command: ls
Status: Listing directory /home/dragon
Status: Directory listing successful
Basically if it says fzSftp started then its defiantly trying on Sftp

You can connect to some webhosts using Sftp as well if you know their SSH port, shouldn't matter if you have shell enabled on your account but it might depend on the host.
