Check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, there is probably a restriction to login with a simple password.

To connect via SFTP are required 3 steps for new installs! :wink:

  1. Make the steps for create a user and password for SFTP like (https://easyengine.io/tutorials/linux/setup-sftp/).

  2. Then check the file to allow authentication via login /etc/ssh/sshd_config using this command:

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Then, change the line

PasswordAuthentication no

to

PasswordAuthentication yes

  1. After making the changes, restart the SSH service by running the following command as root:

sudo service ssh restart

:smiley: Now you will be able to log in with the user SFTP!
