Info for anyone having trouble with WinSCP on vCenter 7.0x
Set your SFTP server to Default. Background:
I was having trouble with WinSCP after upgrading my vCenter to 7. I had always used the SCP protocol, but that failed and I found info about changing to SFTP. Most of the posts I found said to go into Advanced change the SFTP server to this:
shell /usr/libexec/sftp-server
That and other suggestions did not work for me, so I finally set to default. Bing, bang, boom, all good now. Maybe the suggested server path only worked for 6.x.
HTH someone.
Hi, you might be aware of the Kb: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2107727
But also think about the latest Winscp version 5.21, because some changes were made on encryption:
https://winscp.net/eng/download.php
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/history#5.21.8
I think firewall settings are correct, so no blocking.
Kudo if you like.
Thank you for those links. It helps me a lot.
