Hi, I dowloaded freeFTPd to configure my laptop as SFTP server.
using this tool, I generated keypair and completed the SFTP configuration.

then i tried to connect to this sftp server from another desktop using:
PSFTP.exe, i opened it and typed in the following command:

open ip.address.goes.here

it didnt work,

then i tried a different command:

open user@ip.address.goes.here


also it didnt work.

I doubt one thing which is the key authentication.
when im using PSFTP.exe i am not sending the private key in order to

authenticate.

what would be the commands i can use in CMD or in PSFTP.exe to authenticate

myself for this SFTP server?

Please note that both client and server are on windows OS

Thanks,
Ghinwa

I have set up psftp sessions at work, and there have been a couple that wouldn't work. I have to assume that it's because the server I'm connecting to is not set up to accept those connections. I have had our corporate office verify that nothing is being blocked, so that leaves the host as the problem.

Is your problem that the connection times out? Because that's the error I get when I can't connect.

Have you verified that the server is listening on port 22?

SFTP & FTP do not operate on the same port.

Can you connect with other software... other machines?
