Filezilla error: "Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server"

ftp general filezilla

Hi-

I'm trying to connect to my linode over SFTP using Filezilla and FZ will connect for about 1-2 seconds and say "connected" but then will disconnect a deliver this error message:

"Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server"

Anyone have advice or can point me towards the proper docs to read about this?

Many thanks,

Jason

What happens when you use ssh on the command line?

ssh -v yourmachine.example.com

If you don't try different things you will never know if it's a server problem or a client misconfiguration.
