I have been setting up my Sftp server for a week now and this video has come through I appreciate 🙏

Hey man, very detailed video, i'm planning to use this for a group project in class once i figure how to open my lab to the net, one step you forgot to mention and would seem trivial to someone who deals with this often : restart the openssh services after editing sshd_config, otherwise you're still allowing credentials with or without keys

After watching a lot of others this one got me setup! Very detailed and the instruction guide helped a lot! I had confusion about what name for username but figured it out it's a user profile name on server.

Hi,
If after following provided step and your are still not able to connect through a third party app then please upgrade the ftp client.
For me I was facing authentication error for Filezilla and WinScp client bot.
I upgrade to Filezilla 3.60.2 and for WinScp 5.21.3 and it worked.
🙂
