I suddenly get this error using SFTP:

Status: Connecting to 64.207.146.82...
Response:   fzSftp started
Command:    open "[email protected]" 22
Command:    Pass: *********
Status: Connected to 64.207.146.82
Status: Retrieving directory listing...
Command:    pwd
Response:   Current directory is: "/root"
Command:    ls
Status: Listing directory /root
Error:  Connection timed out
Error:  Failed to retrieve directory listing

I tried using FileZila, Cyberduck, Shell (Terminal), same result. However, it worked fine today (just a few seconds) in Passive mode.

This is the message in Cyberduck:

I/O Error: Unexpected end of sftp stream.

I have no firewall active on my computer, and after changing some things in my network I pass the test (both active and passive):

Connecting to probe.filezilla-project.org

Now I'm working on Passive mode.

Because I'm working behind a router, I get my external IP from http://checkip.dyndns.org:8245/

I tested different range of ports.

SSH is working perfect, but SFTP gets stuck in the listing directory part.

Can you use rsync instead?

rsync -avP -e 'ssh -l <username>' <host>:/<directory_to_copy> <where to copy it to locally>

Try scp as well:

scp user@host:/dir_to_copy where_to_copy_it_to

  • with rsync 'receiving file list ...' (nothing happened) With scp 'cp: /Users/Admin/ is a directory (not copied).' Commented Dec 20, 2012 at 16:53
  • Can you show me your commands?

  • Any command you are using that work or do not work... I can't help you unless i know what you're doing.

  • Ah, here is the problem: "To get rid of these messages/aliases, edit your /root/.bash_profile" Open /root/.bash_profile and comment out anything that starts with 'echo'. Alternatively just rename .bash_profile to any other name... but it might have some commands in it that you need to make your environment work.
