issue connecting to sftp
Posted: 2023-01-24 16:56
So I have a bit of a challenge and I can’t seem to figure it out.
I have OpenSSH manually installed on our windows 2019 server, the server’s add feature wouldn’t work with it so I needed to manually install it. It’s located at
C:\OpenSSH-Win64
I have 2 users connecting to it, our sever admin account, and SFTPUser, an account I made for sftp access.
Both users have the same permissions as far as I can tell (both are members of the admin group).
admin account connects no problem using sftp in both filezilla and winscp
SFTPUser connects with winscp when I set the server path to C:\OpenSSH-Win64\sftp-server.exe
Filezilla doesn’t seem to have the option of specifying the path for sftp.
I thought about adding the path the environment variables on the server but that didn’t seem to help. The SFTPUser has full control of that path and any other path I can think of related to the sftp.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
