Networking :: SFTP Using PPK Key File?
Mar 26, 2010
I have been provided with a PPK file to connect to a remote server using SFTP. I've also been given a username and password. I created a user test and created a .ssh directory in their home directory. I've put the ppk file in here and renamed it id_rsa (though I'm pretty sure I'm not correct in doing so)
When I SFTP using sftp test@remoteserver.com I get prompted for the key password - which I don't know and am presuming is blank, so I just hit enter Then is prompts me for the user password which I give it. it falls down here. I used the -v option to see where it stops - which tells me: debug1: Trying private key: /home/test/id_rsa debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed I presume this is because SFTP is expecting a .PEM key instead of a PPK?

I have set up a local server for testing on my home network and installed openSSH. I can login using filezilla and SFTP and can even download files. Error messages saying cannot find directory (the directory I am trying to upload)?
Do I need to configure openSSH to allow this. I am using my usual ubuntu login. Maybe I need to set up another user for SFTP.

Trying to sftp (get) a file, and am getting the following message:
spawn sftp -oPort=10022 jn000JN@sftp.section111.cms.hhs.gov Connecting to sftp.section111.cms.hhs.gov... The authenticity of host 'sftp.section111.cms.hhs.gov (204.76.173.42)' can't be established. DSA key fingerprint is 66:64:07:cc:39:89:56:2b:3b:4c:fd:cc:3d:2a:7a:9c. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Is this an issue with keys? Where are the keys on a sftp client stored? I am running this sftp script from a different directoy than normal if that matters.

Running: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5.2 (Tikanga) I need to be able to automate transferring a few files over from one server to another using scp or the sftp protocol. I have received a text file which looks like a key file along with username and passphrase information for the target server in question.
Instructions were given to me to import the provided text file in puttyGen then save the imported key as a private key to be used by scp or sftp. My assumption is this is for windows utilities, which I am not using. My frustration comes in trying to automate logging into this server via sftp or scp to automate some file transfers. I am asked for a password every time because the public and private key methods failed to find my keys. How can I call scp or the sftp utilities and use the provided key file (the one I generated using puttyGen or the original one provided to me) to login to this server? I've tried taking the generated ppk file from puttygen and adding it with the ssh-add command but that still did not work.

I use the following code to send make-up file dialy via sftp with expect. When I run it from command line, it has no problem sending to the remoteSERVER side, but when it is running via crontab task, it did not do the put, so did not execute the batch file defined in -b option.
#!/bin/bash
#!/usr/bin/expect
curDate=`date +%Y%m%d`
filename="$RESULTS/make-up.${curDate}.001"
newname="make-up.${curDate}.001"
remoteDirName="/Inbound/PPP"
tempcmd="$RESULTS/tempcmdFiles"

upload a file to a business partner of ours in another country. Currently they have an SFTP server set up for us that I am using to download a daily generated file from a previous requirement. I use a bash script to download it since its fairly simple.
Quote:
sftp username@address/filename_filedate.zip /home/user/filedirectory > /var/log/joblog
(removed private info) To satisfy the new requirement I have been trying to write something similar to this;
Quote:
sftp /home/user/filedirectory/filename_filedate.zip username@address:/remotedirectory/
sftps manual page only gives a hint about using a batchfile, however i still cannot get it to work. Does anyone know another way? Or if you can even suggest another method or application? It seems like a bit of a cop out you can EASILY download using the sftp command but can't upload.
EDIT - forgot to mention I have already got keyless entry set up using ssh keys.

Where is the config file for the sftp bit? At the mo it shows all the hiddenfiles (dot) and I don't want it too. Don't laugh, I have just configured my proftp for this, and realised, hang on this isn't the program that dishs out sftp!

if lets say 'someuser' sftp's into the box what is he actually able to do?Looking at my tests he can browse any directory to which he has read permissions but is only able to delete files in /home/someuser, even if they are owned by root. On the other hand in any folder above /home/someuser he would NOT be unable to delete a file even if its chmoded 777. Can anyone please confirm these findings.

As a Windows user, I generated a pair of DSA keys from CoreFTP Lite and sent it to a third party that runs an SFTP server. They told me that a valid DSA key needs to have ssh-dsa at the start and the username@systemname at the end. CoreFTP generated neither the ssh-dsa header nor the username@systemname footer. I tried with WinSCP and it didn't generate them either. Is there a difference between how SFTP works between Windows and Linux? If I put a useraccount@systemname at the end of the text will it work? How would the Linux system validate that my system is called "systemname"? If it can't validate, what is the purpose of adding it?

I'm trying to establish a connection between two laptops using sftp but am getting the following error message:
Connecting to <IP>...
ssh: connect to host <IP> port 22: Connection refused
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer
ftp isn't working either. Both machines are running Ubuntu and connect to the internet through the same wifi router in case that's relevant. What could be the problem?

I have to establish password SFTP between one Unix box and Windows in which certain files will be pushed from unix to windows server. Our client is insisting on using TurboFTP on Windows for ssh daemon to run. There are two components in TurboFTO- client and server.
1. I need help if I need to install both. As far as my knowledge with this software is considered, I dont think TurboFTP client to be running as the server componoent will itself run sshd.
2. Also, when I try to add server in TurboFTP server console, it provides me two options - local and remote server types. Local uses 3830 port by default and uses ip 127.0.0.1. If I use Remote server type which uses 3839 and I dont know what ip address to provide. I need help whether I shud go ahead with local server or remote server.
My doubt is if I consider local server type then whether my Unix box will be able to recognize if thie windows machine (which is also naving network specific ip address) has sshd running because windows has local server type enabled which uses 127.0.0.1.

I cannot access a remote server(Ubuntu) using ssh or even using sftp from my ftp client. I've been accessing this server regularly for many months with no problem until now. There is a web server running and that's OK, so no problems there. I asked the owner of the server if he could access using ssh from within his LAN, which he could! So openssl is working from within the LAN, but not ouside of the LAN. I access the remote server by using one of [URL] free domain names. I'm aware that this service requires renewal or activity at least once a month and as far as I know this is up to date and working OK.
Is this a router gateway problem? I suspect that port 22 has been blocked, but what could block this port? It's been working well for so many months. As far as I can tell the owner of the server/LAN has not been tampering with the router, so what could be blocking port22? I'm currently accessing the server using vnc4server.
Another really weird thing is that when I access the terminal on the remote server via vnc4server and I ssh back to the server using one of [URL] free domain names, it works! So as I understand ssh is accessing itself by going out of the LAN and back to itself. This would suggest that port22 on the gateway router is working. But when I try to ssh from a pc outside of the LAN, I just get timed out!
* openssl working from within the LAN but not outside of the LAN.
* sftp not working.
* domain name from dyndns.com working and up to date.
* Web server is working OK.

I would like to transfer files from my PC to my account at a sftp server, and I don't know how to do it.
My PC is running with:
User: User1
Address: 10.0.2.3
My sftp account is:
User: SFTPUser1
Address: sftp-server
I can access the sftp server with the command:
Code:
sftp SFTPUser1@sftp-server
The sftp server doesn't answer to ssh requests.
How can I transfer files to the sftp server?

I really hope someone could help me with this problem. I've been stuck on this for a month.I am using the sftp command to upload files using a bash script.The problem is that it is extremely slow to do it this way. as many of you would know if you have shared server somewhere. I would use scp if remote server supported it, but it doesn't.
Anyway, If any of you have ever used FileZilla, in the Settings, if you go to "Transfers" there is a place where you can set the number of "maximum simultaneous transfers". This feature works wonders with SFTP (and FTP too). It really speeds things up. How do I accomplish this same thing with the sftp command... because I don't want to use a GUI. I don't even mind using FileZilla through the command line if possible... but it does not seem to be possible. I've been stuck on this for a month!!! I've searched everywhere and tried a lot of things with no avail...

I want to use a cron job to backup my files to my server. Now when I run the script manually, I get an error when backing up (something and sftp file being used or so). I only get this when I'm simultaneously connected to my server with sftp. So to be sure that this doesnt happen when I wont be there anymore to look at the log, I would like to know if there is a command to kill all sftp connections. I would put this command in the backup scrip cron uses.

I have FTPS setup on my ubuntu server 9.10 machine using vsftpd, and I want to disable the default SFTP server in openSSH. I didn't even know it was on until I accidentally connected to it. I tried searching the internet, and it seems that all I should have to do is comment out the line:
Code: Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server restart sshd and it shouldn't work anymore.....except it does. Thinking that /etc/init.d/ssh restart may not have worked, I restarted the machine, but I can still connect over sFTP.

I have ubuntu server 9.10 running in which I selected the option to automatically installed security updates. It's been running file for 4 months with both ssh and SFTP, which I installed the openssh-server.Today I really need to upload something to the server, which is in another city and SFTP isn't working. It's not allowing me to connected, I tried connecting with multiple FTP clients, command line...etc and on both windows and linux and SFTP just isn't working.The only changed I've done to the configuration file was changing the port from 22 to another port and did this 4 months ago. Been using it every few weeks since then.
