CentOS 5 Server :: Rssh Error Connection Closed - Restrict The Users To Scp And Sftp

Aug 6, 2011

I have configured rssh 2.3 with openssh 5.8 on RHEL 5.6 64 bit to restrict the users to scp and sftp. When i try to sftp or scp it gives error connection closed. After long googling tried different solutions like add missing libraries, setuid to rssh_helper. I had full copy of /lib to /chroot/lib and /chroot/lib64 but no success. conf and log files are below for reference.

CentOS 5 Server :: Remote Installation Of Rssh On 5.2?

Mar 17, 2009

I'm an OS X user that's just acquired a CentOS 5.2 server. The server contains a basic installation of CentOS 5.2 with OpenSSH already installed, which I use to connect to the server using OS X terminal. I have no physical access to the machine and if I somehow cripple OpenSSH I will need to pay a technician to fix the problem for me. So I'd like to get the instructions straight before I go in and mess around with the system.

I want to install a package that will allow me to add additional users so that they can upload files but not mess around with the system configuration. From searching on google rssh seems to be a viable path. So I'd like to go with that unless there's a better option.

I came across these tutorials: SFTP Setup for CentOS 4.5-5.x and How to: Restrict Users to SFTP and Block SSH Shell Access with rssh. But I haven't followed the instructions in either yet. I'm unsure if I'll be able to execute all of the steps remotely without compromising my root account's SSH access.

Ubuntu Security :: Pgadmin3 Through Ssh Tunnel - Error Connecting To The Server: Server Closed The Connection Unexpectedly

Mar 1, 2010

I'm using Postgresql 8.4.2-2. I'm trying to remote into my server securely. I figure I could do so with ssh. Apparently I figured correctly, as per, [URL] and [URL] I setup the ssh tunnel. ssh -L 5432:serverip:5432 Then I setup pgadmin3 to connect as follows:

host: localhost
port: 5432
user: postgres
maintenance db: postgres

And I receive the following error:

An error has occurred: Quote: An error has occurred: Error connecting to the server: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.

I'm not sure what the problem is. I can connect with Code: psql from the cli after connecting to the terminal via ssh. So I know that I'm using the correct password.

Fedora Servers :: SFTP Connection Refused Error: Could Not Connect To Server

Dec 20, 2009

I have FileZilla installed on this machine, and OpenSSH (with an open port 22) on another machine on my home network. When I try and connect, I get: Quote: Status:Connecting to 192.168.2.3... Response:fzSftp started Command: open "alphatwo@192.168.2.3" 22 Error:Connection refused Error:Could not connect to server

Which has left me puzzled as I have an open port. Does the username have to be defined somewhere? E.g. the machine acting as my SFTP server can be logged on to locally as alphatwo so that's what I logged in as (with the correct password). Is this correct? If so, does anyone have any ideas as to how I might rectify it? I want SFTP set up so I can copy PHP files from my laptop to /var/www/html/ on another PC (across the home network).

Fedora :: Sftp - "Connection Closed" - Configuration

Dec 1, 2009

I can ssh to my Fedora 12 without any problem, but every time I sftp to it, it says "Connection closed" and then just kick me out. Is there any configuration I missed here?

I found the issue is that in .bashrc I have following line: bind '"C-a": "cd .. "' As soon as I comment it out, sftp start working. But I cannot explain it.

Ubuntu Servers :: "Error: Server Unexpectedly Closed Network Connection"

Feb 22, 2011

I have a problem between a jail root (so a group of users can access through sftp to Apache directory (var/www) an not get out of this directory.

1. I have the group 'sftponly', I need to access / var / www for sftp (read only)

2. On the other hand I need that user www-data (Apache) is the owner or at least have write permissions in the same directory (/ var / www)

The problem comes when the two needs together, as from what I read, to do jailroot in a directory is necessary for the owner is root and any other user has write permissions on it.

If along the jailroot with write permissions then attempt to connect to the client via sftp throws me the following error: "Error: Server unexpectedly closed network connection"

Permissions system User/group/Others doensn't work to me, so I tried it with ACL, but I have the same problem when I grant write permissions to the apache user.

Does anyone know how can I do for the user www-data can have write permission in the Apache directory and be able to create a user or group of users who are "locked"in this directory to enter sftp?

Server :: Connection Sharing Feature - Shared Connection To Server Closed

May 20, 2010

I'm a frequent user of the shared connection feature of SSH. Usually i have two or three connections open at the same time through the connection sharing feature, but sometimes when i try to start another i get the message "Shared connection to <server< closed". All the connection that are established through the connection sharing feature are still active and not closed, but when i try to create a new one i get that message.. i've even got that message when i have only had two connections through the shared connection feature.

I've tried to search google but it doesnt seem like anyone else has had the same kind of problem, does someone know why i sometimes get this error ?

Server :: Dump All Users To The Same Sftp Starting Directory?

Jul 7, 2010

Using CentOS 5.5. I have a handful of users that I need to have connect to my server via sftp and start in the same directory. for example, user1, user2, user3, etc.. will connect via sftp and upon connection will all be in the /some/dir/path/ftp-root directory.I know one way is to create these users all with the same 'home' directory, since by default a user starts in their home directory when connecting via sftp, but before just doing that, I wanted to find out if that is really the appropriate method to use? alternatives? Is there some setting on the sftp server end that could direct all users to one starting directory so that these users don't have to have the same 'home' dir? I'm using the sshd daemon that comes with CentOS 5.5 (with all current updates/patches)

CentOS 5 :: Ssh_exchange_identification: Connection Closed By Remote Host?

Feb 3, 2011

I am having trouble connecting to one of the VM's through ssh from base machine all of a sudden. All I get is an error : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

--IP/Hostname crossed out --
[root@XX-XX02 ~]# ssh -v 1XX.1X.5X.1XX
OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008[code].....

Saying that the problem is only with ssh would be wrong as I can't seem to telnet or ftp it either. But I can ping it fine.When I try to login to that VM through console, it won't even let me login. The screen would flash for a sec and the same login prompt would reappear. I am not sure what exactly happened as it was working fine before.

OS version: CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
uname -a: Linux XX.XX 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 29 12:50:31 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

CentOS 5 :: Limit To One Connection Per User For Ssh / Sftp?

Dec 3, 2009

Is it possible to limit each user so that only one can connect via each username for ssh/sftp? I work with a small company where there aren't really enough of us to justify using a revision control system, but we don't want to accidentally step on each other's toes, so we'd like to try simply preventing more than one person from accessing a given domain at once.

Software :: Red5 - Connection Failed Or Closed Error Message

Apr 29, 2010

Firstly I am new to red5 and not very strong when it comes to linux. I have had installed red5 on my dedicated server and going by the http://myIP:5080/installer demos it is all working fine. My problem is I cannot get it to work with my software being flashchat. I am not sure if it comes from me using the incorrect RTMP url and if so after trying about 20 or more ways of typing it in I always get the same error message "Connection Failed' or "Connection Closed" not to sure what is meant by Closed as to whether it's working but can't get in or what ever. I am after someone who can get this to work for me please and I am willing to pay for that service once it is working.

Debian Configuration :: Connection Closed By Server With Exitcode 141

Sep 4, 2011

setting up an SFTP server on debian, all the way down through step 3, though I did not "Match Group" I did Match User as I only need 1 user to have access to the SFTP server(did not continue on to step 4 and beyond as they did not apply to me) Im getting the error:

connection closed by server with exitcode 141

I get this when trying to log in via filezilla. I actually only got the 141 error on the first attempt, any attempts after that just says "could not connect to server". Username and password authentication goes through, so it is not a login info issue.Im running Debian squeeze, and that guide was for Lenny, that shouldnt matter, I dont think.

General :: SSH: Server Unexpected Closed Network Connection

Jul 4, 2011

In my case, it occurs intermittently when trying to connect using putty's command line client 'plink.exe' to a linux machine using ssh. For some testing purposes, a linux server is setup with 8K virtual ip addresses and the testing scripts will connect to these ip addresses through ssh using plink.exe. There will be concurrently 25 ssh sessions launched to the server. While it works for sometimes, it throws 'server unexpectedly closed network connection' error intermittently. If the same ip address is tried again manually, it works. While the ssh server is accepting connections, this error is thrown sometimes and unable to find out the reason from the logs. It is not that the ssh connection is completely blocked. It gives this error message while connecting to some of the virtual ip addresses but works some times.

The hosts.deny, sshd_config are tuned to allow the connections, allow more sessions etc.

Ubuntu Security :: Securing SSH Connection For SFTP Server

Jan 19, 2011

I'm running an SFPT server which my clients logon to using an FTP client. at the moment each client has a user name and password.

Thus far to improve security I've disabled root login but an looking for futrhrt ways to protect it from attack, having researched using google some of the security features suggested prevent the FPT clients from connecting.

Questions:
1- what further things can i do to secure my server that still allows it to be usable for FTP clients?
2- specifically is it possible to use non login pre-share key authentication?

How i set up the server is shown here: [url]
