WinSCP Hates Me

[Chris Landers]

the server ip is 192.168.1.250 and refuses to connect.
I tried apt-get install openssh-server but it says uptodate
any ideas?:?:

 

[Psytrac]

ifconfig says that?

 

[Chris Landers]

yep o.o

 

[Psytrac]

able to ping it?

 

[Chris Landers]

nope.

 

[Psytrac]

then something else is wrong, cause you should be able to ping any pc in your own network

 

[Swoosh91]

run a nmap scan on your lan ip (NOT localhost) to see if ssh is even up.

 

[Chris Landers]

scan the server ip? did that and got,
Starting Nmap 6.47 (

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 3.84 seconds
I prob did it wrong D:

 

[sora1984]

nmap --iflist

its telling you what to try in the output.......

nmap -Pn 192.168.1.250

should list all open ports if you want to try a specific port use

nmap 192.168.1.250 -p 22
or for a little more info
nmap -v -Pn 192.168.1.250 -p 22


by the way, what does your router show as the ip?

are you using a pre-made vm, or you made it (like installing linux from scratch)?

 

[Chris Landers]

premade

 

[Caosfox]

ok, i bet the problem is easy
you can ping from inside linux, lets say google?
ping

if give any error.. means the premade (like many premades) uses vmnet8, and that virtual lan is not the same for everyone( in my case is 192.168.25.1) so, your ip is never going to work
best thing to do? poweroff linux
and change the lan to bridge
start linux, let linux detect your new card
select dchp mode
and done

if you want a fixed ip, set t from the router if you want, is easier than done it from windows

 

[Chris Landers]

says host unknown, I have the network set to bridged adapter already or am I the wrong thing

 

[Caosfox]

wrong, if you have it to bridge (and dchp) your ip must be 10.0.0.x
not 192.168.25.x

if you have it on bridge mode, linux is on static ip mode ( is not using your router ip, is using a pre defined 192.x.x.x ip) and ofc is not going to work

host unknow means your linux is isolated from internet (even from any other pcs) for that you cant ping sites, connect winscp, etc

 

[Chris Landers]

this not right ?

[Caosfox]

weird window.. is virtual machine (vmware) or virtual box?
toy can try to set ubuntu (i guess you are using ubuntu, right?) to dchp mode

try this:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

you see something like this:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.0.0.1
broadcast 10.0.0.255
gateway 46.185.128.91
(ofc with diferent ips)
replace all that for

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

and the restart or execute:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
