How are you switching between windows and linux so easily? I'm thinking about switching over to linux mint, as i'd be a beginner, and windows is quickly going down the drain.. but i'm curious about how to switch between the two seamlessly on a single PC

Hi The command you ran in ubuntu. sudo systemctl enable - - now shh What is the command in centos please thank u 🙏

@ITProTv 3 года назад

It is the same command under current versions of CentOS, but the service name is "sshd" and not "ssh". Early versions of CentOS 7 did not support the --now argument, so you would need to do two commands: "sudo systemctl enable sshd && sudo systemctl start sshd" Prior to CentOS 7 you use a different set of commands: "sudo chkconfig sshd on && sudo service sshd start"

@ovonijemojeime 3 года назад

Do you use this method because you can't use a Flash drive to transfer files from Windows to Linux? I'm thinking of switching to Linux and don't know what to do with my Windows documents (video, pictures etc.) My fear is that the Linux machine will not recognize the Flash drive and I won't be able to access my files.

@ITProTv 3 года назад

A flash drive works just as well, but has a few drawbacks: 1. The machines need to be in the same physical location so you can move the USB drive. SFTP works across the network. 2. There is no easy way to encrypt data on the USB disk that would be compatible with both Windows and Linux. SFTP is encrypted by default. 3. The only consistently supported filesystem that is compatible with Windows and Linux is FAT32 which has no journaling and cannot handle files over 4GB in size. SFTP does not have these limitations.

@urek00 3 года назад

Hello. I have done everything you said but still when I try to connect I get this error msg in Filezilla "Connection timed out after 20 seconds of inactivity Error: Could not connect to server" Any Ideas what might be causing it?

@ITProTv 3 года назад

This means you cannot "see" the server on the network and could be caused by a few things. First, check to make sure you have the server name or IP correct. Also, check that the right port number is being used. SSH uses TCP port 22. Next, test connectivity. Can you ping the Linux host from your Windows machine? Finally, check your firewall configuration on your Linux machine. It may be blocking incoming connections.

I'm getting ' connection timed out after 20 sec' error in filezilla after given my authentication credentials of kali machine...anyone there to help me

@ITProTv 3 года назад

Double check your connection settings in FileZilla. Make sure you selected SFTP as the protocol. Assuming those settings are all correct, the next thing to check is Kali. There's a good chance that sshd is not enabled by default. Make sure the service is installed and running then try to connect again.

@yarikmarar241 3 года назад

if running WSL2 on win10 instead of "sudo systemctl start ssh" USE: "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start"

@ITProTv 3 года назад

Not every Linux distro runs UFW. Yours might use firewalld, iptables, or even no firewall at all. You will have to check the documentation for your distribution of Linux.

@ITProTv 3 года назад

You may be running into user authentication issues. The permissions won't matter if your user account is not allowed in the first place. Double check your username and password to make sure they are valid. You can use SSH to test the connection.

@s.akhtarjoomun263 3 года назад

Hi... It didn't connect in my case. Do you think it's possibly because of the Windows 10 Enterprise that I have? I've heard that AppLocker doesn't allow the installation of a lot of software including filezilla to connect to other OS. I think the home version doesn't have that restriction, but I'm not sure.

@ITProTv 3 года назад

It is more likely to be something blocking your connection on the Linux side than Windows so I would start troubleshooting there. This is especially true if you are actually able to launch FileZilla. AppLocker will block the app from running at all.

Thanks for the video, but i have found that FileZilla is not safe to use it has malicious behaviour in it.

@ITProTv 3 года назад

It depends on where you download it from. Some of the download mirrors package additional software with it, which is not ideal. Personally, I use the paid version called FileZilla Pro so that is not an issue for me.

@neelupatel5498 3 года назад

@@ITProTv okay thanks. Can you share a genuine link for downloading file zilla because last time I have download the application from its official website that is filezilla-project.org

@ITProTv 3 года назад

The main download button on their site uses third-party mirrors. However, on their download page you can click "Show additional download options" to see their full download page (filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1). It links directly to their official CDN. They also post file hashes so you can test if the file has been tampered with.
