Mageia forum

I use sshfs to connect to my desktop from my laptop running Ubuntu.

When my desktop was running Mint 13 I could connect OK.

Since running Mageia 2 on my desktop I keep getting: Connection reset by peer.

I use an IP address when trying to connect using sshfs, but don't know what else to try. Any suggestions please?

ssh is allowed in the Mageia firewall? Which command do you use to connect to your desktop?

In MCC I have the firewall set to allow everything to connect, and I use sshfs on my laptop to connect to the desktop.

Please show the exact command and the output you get, via copy&paste.

Apart from that, it may be a good idea to debug the ssh connection first, for that you can start
the server side manually in debug mode via

Code: Select all

/usr/sbin/sshd -ddd

and connect to it from the
remote client via

Code: Select all

ssh -vvv ip_of_server

Thanks, using debug mode on the server and remote client pointed me to problems with keys.

So I used

Code: Select all

ssh-keygen -A

on the server to generate new keys. Then I had to use

Code: Select all

ssh-keygen

with -R on the remote client to remove existing keys for my server.

I can now access my desktop from my laptop normally. Thanks again for your help.

No problem
