Enable SFTP on Linux Server
Dear Experts,
1. i am running a Centos6 with Plesk Panel 10. For PCI Compliance I have blocked FTP port21.
2. now when i try to connect through SFTP (port22) using winscp. it gives me this error:
"cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is host running a SFTP server"
3. what setting/installation i need to do server to make SFTP work?
Regards,

Just thinking here, you use putty to connect to the server, do you use port 22 in there or is it something else ?
As it could be that ssh is listening on a none standard port ...
Also, using putty does not mean that you are connecting using ssh, putty is a client that can be configured in may way, but is primarily known as an ssh client..
