SSH and FTP for Remote Administration

[@RohitKumar-ko2yf]

I got my dream job because of you ELI and I have started free education for people who cannot afford IT . Thank you so so much for the motivation :)

[@davidratkay9281]

That's awesome man!

[@urgencepc4563]

Awesome !!

[@felipeferreira5206]

Dude me too, this is the Man. I have 2x my income no joke

[@jmrbug9623]

Before I started college, I got off the ground in Computer Science with lots of books and Eli's videos so many years ago. I wanted to stop by and say that the distance I've gone since then is unfathomable and I sent a friend of mine the link to this playlist because he is just starting to learn computers. Although the jargon expressed in most tutorials is no problem to me now, I remember it being a huge barrier to me back then. The way you break down the content and terminologies in your vids is so well-done that I'm confident a 4 year old can understand it and learn from it. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks a lot for your vids, Eli!

[@squint28]

ok, nevermind lol; I figured it out. went to VM box> Settings> Network> and changed "Attached to:" to "bridged connection" then i restarted ubuntu and did "ifconfig" again and got a new ip. I was then able to input the new ip and connect successfully. I would strongly reccomend this to anyone else having trouble as I played around for an hour trying all options and narrowing it down to this one! Thanks for the tutorials man, very easy to understand

[@HeilmanHackatronics]

Thanks for the video, works great. (anyone else having audio sync issues?)

[@SimonLam2024]

too

[@NebuchadnezzarThe2nd]

its the "computer guy's " fault ;) heheh

[@THeCOMENTOR1243]

Heilman Hackatronics yup

[@kuyapogi2]

hi ellie.. been watching your videos for a month.. im an IT graduate from mapua here in Philippines and my specialization was hpux admin, thank you for your great tutorial.. it teally hepls me refresh everything i've learned from college.. Gobless you mr. IT guy =)

[@ameygirdhari8703]

Crystal clear explanation of ssh and vsftp with practical demonstration. Awesome work

[@TheSword3000]

If you ran for President . . . I would vote for you! You are the freakin man!

[@josj15]

This guy left his mark on the internet with all these videos over the years, virtually every 'Techie' in the world that speaks english knows about this guy

[@lesliesavege1206]

Yours is the BEST!!! Most just talk about the client, and anyone can figure that out. Tried it right away with Filezilla and it worker, barring a few misspells, but that's just being human on my part. Very good job, and to the point.

[@tg9460]

Thanks Eli. You never disappoint. You always make it look so easy. I like your pace of teaching. Very thorough.

[@Jussimpleme]

Eli, just wanted to say that yet again you helped me to fully understand another IT concept. It's funny how you and my mentor are both named Eli. In two weeks I test for my CCNA. You were a big part of my study routine. Thanks.

[@saleh0almuhajer]

really really u r the most powerful teacher i have seen ....... thX alot Eli the computer guy

[@Ensayia]

Don't forget to allow port 21 (FTP) through the firewall (sudo ufw allow 21) or you won't be connecting to anything. Also, if you don't have an ftp client you can point your webrowser to ftp://(ipaddress) and it will prompt you for the user and password. Great videos :D

[@atlrafa]

Best explanation ever...am bashing my labs with ease because of you. Thanks alot

[@ramroyer]

Hi Eli, thanks for these videos, your explanation always is very precise.

[@elithecomputerguy]

"sudo apt-get install ssh" at around 3:19 of the video...

[@elithecomputerguy]

Try disabling all of your security software and see if it will work then. Norton or such may be blocking the connection.

[@sme184]

thank for the reply Eli.. your such a good teacher i'm sitting here in the school i'm actually have my internship and i learn a lot from you. I almost watch and follow your video everyday. :) I guess the school is blocking some ports that's why i can't connect to the linux server i installed in the vm. but anyway you are great.. keep it up :) you are blessed with such a brain :)

[@Ralph_-_]

Thanks for the great tutorials! I have learned a lot. Some advice for other people. With the default configuration you can not login as root with ftp. And when you don't want to set up a ftp server you can also use filezilla with ssh. Just put in your login and password and port 22.

[@cerineuginga8959]

Wow wow!!! Really love your classes. Glad that i found your channel, now i got wht i need to spend time while am in holidays . Keep up with the good work Eli. God bless you. Sincere regards.

[@tylerandal1]

This video is great I'm very new to using linux and I was able to get this setup without any issues. Thanks a million.

[@willardhollandz2907]

Your Tut's Are The Best On The Net Eli ... Thank You for making this so much easier to grasp and understand , you have a true talent for spreading knowledge :D

[@sleepee11]

i could be wrong, but if i'm not mistaken, the package name is openssh-server for the server package, and openssh-client for the client package. (even though most distros come with the ssh client installed by default) so the command for debian/ubuntu-based distros, the command would be "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"

[@kevinwyman7046]

SSH doesn't "require" Port 22 but uses it by default. You can further secure your server by changing the port number in the configuration file (Port 2316 for instance) and then specify that port to use when connecting to the server. Also I think it would benefit the viewers to know that you are connecting through a local network (both client and server on same network) and that if you were connecting to the server from elsewhere in the world, the IP address used to connect would be different.

[@joshwhitezz]

Eli speaks very well if you have an imigination you can visual see what he is saying

[@kevinwyman7046]

I agree! This would be a far more secure practice for the server. Not to mention more convenient if you have multi-level users that need to access the folder (Standard, Admin, Guests, etc...).

[@franchyze922]

I'm confused how do I access the command line on my websites server? My website is on a shared hosting server and I've just been using filezilla to transfer all of my files. When I log into my server website I don't see anything about opening a shell and being able to sudo apt-get install ssh

[@Own_stories11]

You are just like private free tutor. i have learnt lot with your linux video's. now i want to learn about web server on linux.please upload that tutorial ...PLZ..

[@srinikk9976]

Thank you so much... u made it very simple and understanding ..for novoice users like me

[@RCJWHS09]

Just as a note to those that want to use this ftp on a server. It does NOT encrypt the packets that are being used to login. In fact, if you use a packet sniffing software, you can see the login information for the server without any decryption, there is much more that needs to be added to the ftp configuration to cover that login information.

[@teshi2024]

hey eli, im brazilian and your videos are helping me so much on my new job!! thank you very much!! (sorry for my poor english)

[@alanamumuhammedawwal3036]

mateus teshima Hello bro , how's your job going .

[@kevinwyman7046]

Ubuntu is a nice flavor of linux for beginners and that is who these videos are generally directed at.

[@atAnkitMurarka]

What are the alternatives of filezilla in ubuntu and ios. Can the upload and download be done without a client like filezilla. Like directly connecting using terminal commands.

[@JustAnotherMakoto]

The voicemail states "hash" in my country. Do they call a hashtag a poundtag over there?

[@danc9356]

Using putty and post ssh server install , can i gain access between computer in different networks?

[@mikek1642]

In case you are getting the following error with ftp clients when you are trying to connect to your server " 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/user", you need to enable the ftp_home_dir with those commands : 1) Check if ftp home directory is on/off getsebool -a | grep ftp 2) Set in ON if its OFF setsebool -P ftp_home_dir on 3) Re-check just to be sure getsebool -a | grep ftp you should have the following output ftp_home_dir --> on

[@ITfact]

Thank you Eli for the tutorial. Did you notice your Audio/Video is out off sync? Audio lags behind in about a second. I noticed the same problem in your previous videos.

[@biteme2367]

How secure is using FTP in this manner? Is the information (ie. username, password, data) sent in plain text?

[@juan-ou3gq]

Greattings from Peru Profesor!! Eli

[@astralfire9465]

Hello. If the server does not have ssh installed would we connect but with telnet and be able to remotely install it ? And what would happen if we chose SSH , not Telnet at first?

[@godlistenheaven600]

thanks much for the lesson but am stack... sudo apt-get install ssh, sudo apt-get install openssh-server doesn't work it says openssh-server has no installation candidate and if i try install ssh it tells me to install openssh-client and i need the server... help...

[@craaazyish]

my eth0 doesnt have an inet addr. what do i use for host name?

[@pipedo700]

Hello Eli.. for some reason I was not able to connect using putty.. I tried to disable ufw and also my antivirus program on windows.. could it be that the problem is related to the fact o using linux inside a virtual machine?

[@abunohakwe9742]

Thanks Eli, you always make it seem so easy.

[@lettygarcia251]

I try to make changes on my home computer, but it won't let me. It gives me a read out that says "administrators permission needed". I also get a reading that says...remote administrator. What does these all mean?

[@TheBrowncoat1]

not sure what you meant? chmod stands for "change mode" (the permissions etc.) -x means that you are removing the "x" permission (execute-able) the g and o stand for "group" and "others" in linux there are 3 parts of the permission in linux, the "user" the person who owns the file. "group" (idk much) but i assume that this is some user group like "root" "ftp" "users" etc. and "other" is everyone else. Anyone else correct me if i'm wrong

[@abdosayed9719]

when i conncet with ftp it deosn't connect, but when change the port to 22 ! it deos put when try to change any directory or upload it makes error

[@wanted402]

i see your allot videos you are going very good dear (teacher)....thNx...

[@squint28]

Hey, Eli; I am really hell bent on learning this stuff and I'm doing pretty good, but I am really getting aggravated with this and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out a solution to this: "Network error: Connection timed out" I've disabled anti-virus and even ran as administrator... Nothing! Please help. Thanks

[@AhmedAli-jt4uf]

hay eli i have a problem i have setup ubuntu server 12.04 on virtualbox and i try to connect to it but i cant and i have the same problem on using filezila

[@linus3k]

do these commands work for FEDORA 20?

[@prowl82]

I had the same problem though I did manage to get two seperate machines (as well as my phone) connecting through SSH so I am guessing VM is the issue.

[@adanup]

firewalls both ip and ip6 are off, configured the file as you said, but im not being able to connect. error is connection time out... i can ssh but cant use ftp... HELP!!!

[@ImixWayeb]

maybe stupid question, but this is just for Linux Servers, or is it possible to connect to Linux Ubuntu (for instance). I have tried and I get wrong password notification.

[@rakotomanana786]

I have problem with $ chmod +r /etc/passwd chmod: impossible d'accéder à '/etc/passwd': No such file or directory. what can I do?

[@kingus1149]

make it executable first : with chmod +x ... I think it will work

[@dansmedia1401]

i cant fix it in windows 8.1 ? i cant type username and pass it says access denied

[@duanedean6470]

They sure do. We also use it for weights and a number of other things. Probably just depends what field your in.

[@foleybarbarian]

Would be nice if you showed how to create a shared folder and create user to the groupftp

[@1985AshishSuper]

i have 1 prblm i have ubuntu 11.10 installed in my pc and my network connection is pppoe.I am able to connect to internet by typing "pon dsl-provider" in terminal and my internet is working fine but whenever i open any GUI applications such as Ubuntu ONE or any other app it shows that i am offline i.e it is not able to detect my internet connection. Even at the top of the screen it shows as "Wired connection 1" disconected. WHat should i do pls tell me or guide me where can i get ansr to this ?

[@SEEVCar]

an erorr will pop up package not found its "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"

[@arassen19]

gave me an error. could not connect. For ftp client 530 could not connect. Alright i had to edit vsftpd.conf file again and changed the setting from pam_service_name=vsftp to pam_service_name=ftp restarted service and successfully connected to it.

[@VictorMbumbaSopranoihuk]

Hi, What is the name of the command programme are you using and how to install it. Thank

[@Kahain]

when i try to connect remotely by fowarding the vsftpd port in the router and use my public ip address in filezilla i get ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server. locally works but not remotely. SSH with putty works local and remotely no problem. I checked for the firewall, its not running

[@seablue5]

I noticed you have the date created and length of class around the wrong way on your website and video notes. Nice easy tutorials. They will do a lot to demystify using computers.

[@sasafeda]

I have a big problem... I have accidentally shutted down my linux server, is there a way to restart it?

[@mohannadkiwan6314]

plz can anyone help me with this .. when i writ sudo .. i got this ('sudo' is recognized as an internal or external command.)

[@daddymack1220]

why doesnt ha use a cpanel for the server? can someone answer?

[@hexianfox1174]

Mobile terminal emus can still use the sudo right?

[@singletona082]

Currently using ftp to transfer video from my desktop and tablet to my raspberry pi actig as media center. Sadly only getting like 700kbps speeds though, which is frustrating. However at the same time? Its a background process all on the home network,no rush. Would like to speed it up though.

[@GeekSquad9158]

Hey eli, Why is my .conf file blank?

[@angelscopilot]

Hi Eli, just want to ask, I followed all the video and have all setup, but in your video you connect with Filezilla default port is 21 which is not a ssh can you correct me if I'm wrong?

[@awc032]

the info in this video is superb

[@amabowilli]

Your tutorial is very easy to understand but most of the commands to install FTP does not work with redhat or Centos.

[@vagsp169]

where the Password and Username came from? It's the Linux server's credentials or random?

[@rovaniemikorjaus1392]

dear sir I have problem with SSH when I like to transfer html file to /var ubuntu server I get Transfer error can you help me

[@ekozzol]

Hi Eli, I am new to ssh. I have followed your video to install and log into ssh. Now I need to edit my website php5.ini file but I don't know how to do that. Do you have a video showing how to open and edit files in ssh?

[@SajithJohnSam]

Great Tutorial Eli.. Nice to see you using the whiteboard, I always loved the traditional way of teaching.. white/black boards :)

[@piperpilot679]

Hi Eli, when I try to connect to my SSH server, I get the PuTTY error: "Server unexpectedly closed connection". Do you know what is going on and how I have to fix it?

[@nikhildivakar3918]

Add v flag while ssh for verbose E.g. ssh -v someone@someserver

[@이영인-p6j]

can I use this for mac terminal?? Also, I can't install the ssh and the vsftpd

[@rlemon]

Just what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing

[@kevinwyman7046]

It's pretty straight-forward...you do not have the command "sudo" available in the environment you are using. If you are using a terminal emulator on your phone/tablet (and maybe even Cygwin for Windows), sudo may not come with the environment.

[@thegame8538]

Hello, can you please tell me where I can get SSH No-Login servers from?

[@hemaloid419]

Walgreens or tg&y

[@ToppHatts]

This straightened a lot out for me. Thank you much.

[@Spoolz07]

Very well explained, thanks Eli.

[@prowl82]

I changed my Virtualbox configuration and got it working. I went to Settings > Network and set the adapter "Attached to:" option to Bridged Adapter. Working fine now as my Virtual machine now has an IP address that matches my local network.

[@stephenjasonwang]

SUBSCRIBED AFTER 7hours straight of watching this course.... last video on LINUX BACKUP for tomorrow... I'm sleepy :)

[@nadeemshah6737]

hi can you please help me, I'm trying to configure ssh and ftp but i was unsuccessful, the command sudo apt-get install ssh is asking password i try my userwd it doesn't accept that.

[@navasjaseer7508]

plz use admin password

[@spookseo5244]

The topic of this video is quite a difficult one. However, I learned a lot. The only thing is that I am not so sure if I already have the information needed to be successful in my SSH and FTP attempt. Can you provide a more detailed tutorial? If yes, that would really be great.

[@sme184]

Hi Eli the computerguy :) i try to install putty in the other virtual machine the problem is i cannot connect to my linux server. it said that network error: connection refuse. What have i done wrong. and also i can't connect to filezella as well.. thanks for help. :)

[@Ldavidable]

sudo: apt-get: command not found I am using a Mac

[@Fuxy22]

You don't need FTP you could just use the SSH to manipulate your files. For instance Filezilla can connect to any SSHd and manipulate your files as if it were a FTP server.

[@grjesus9979]

once you install ssh it comes by default with SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) which is way more secure than FTP. In conclusion, you don´t need to install VSFTPD.

[@于嘉宁]

What are the differences of SSH and VPN?

[@PeadarBoc]

Interesting video. The only thing i'm not familiar with is the whole command line thing, and what commands to enter. I've only ever known a GUI from Windows 95 upwards so all this is like ?

[@TheAnalystradioprogram]

Jump in with both feet and force yourself to use command line for everything. Very quickly you feel smarter and want to use command line instead of GUI.

[@magnspower5821]

Very helpful...thank you for the videos Eli!

you can also type install - y so you dont have to press y to conferm just a quick question though in your opinion what is the easyest and best fire wall (with gui) to use on linux debion and can you make a class on that please :D

[@itpugil]

no wonder i couldnt drag files to the samba file server using filezilla, i didnt uncomment the enable write in the vsftpd.conf file

[@magetaaaaaa]

+Supermanu15 Had this exact problem today, I'm setting one up at work.

[@itpugil]

magetaaaaaa i know :/ took me a while to actually realize it :\ debian wheezy with vsftpd umcomments it automatically

[@ds19dsfn]

Hi Eli, I want to thank you for all videos you're sharing with us. I have a 2012 windows server under a domain. I would like to setup this server as a place where we can exchange files, but the access will be from outside my LAN. The idea is that someone can transfer file to this server and then someone else can take them form the same sever. What are your recommendations. I really get hard time to access my server from outside my network. thanks again

[@MrHenry9191]

when i type that , it says command not found

[@Superboygamer1028]

Thanks a lot, will forever be grateful!!!
