Re: Unable to use sftp with root account
Hello lucato
You have enabled remote root login in your sshd_config. Anyway doucle check
that this is the actual configuration file being read when sshd starts (see
your init scripts).
To debug your problem try to use sftp in the local server from command line:
sftp -v root@localhost
paste your results back to the list and we'll help you.
