This time trying to set it up has been a pain. FileZilla copies from Windows 11 to Linux without problems. From Windows 11 to Linux, not so easy this time.
I have to install OpenSSH in Windows. I do not remember doing this. If I did, the rest of the process (configuring OpenSSH, using whoami to get Microsoft user name and Microsoft password, we're not part of the process. And it still does not open an sftp connection from the command line in Linux.
Strictly speaking, I can live with only a one-way connection. It is just annoying. If only Linux were as well supported as Windows.
Is SSH running on Linux?

sudo apt install ssh-server
sudo service ssh start
Security has been upgraded quite a bit in the past few years in response to all the ransomware attacks everywhere...
Yes. I can FileZilla to and from Windowx easily. From Linuxc side, no.
DeleteYou can also use something like Dropbox, or Google Drive (though I don't like the Google Drive options on Linux) if the files are something you are going to backup offsite anyway. (Though I encrypt everything - almost everything - I upload to Dropbox)
ReplyDeleteAnd given that Filezilla hasn't been updated since 2019...
ReplyDeleteWhere did you see that? Filezilla-project.org's version history page shows a release in April 2025.
DeleteClayton, is it possible Windows put you on a public network instead of a private one? I've found Windows 11 is really bad for doing that and not telling you. In a comment to your latest post, where I mentioned installing the OpenSSH server on Win11, I didn't mention that when I tried to connect from another pc, it failed silently, so I went back to the first one and discovered my wireless network was set to Public, which turns on the firewall. Changing it to private immediately let me remote in.
