    Hi,

    I want to some files transfer to my Aix system with Sftp. I can connect to Aix server with Ssh but I am trying to connect with Secure Shell File Transfer, I am not able to connect aix server. I am getting "The host is Unreachable"

    What is the reason? How can i enable Sftp?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Can you check If you are subsystem ftp/sftp running ? smitty subserver - query ftp/sftp - Started subserver than pid would be started then try file transfer. Also verify If hostname is servered through DNS.

    Hi,

    Check that you have a line similar to the following in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

    1. override default of no subsystems
    Subsystem sftp /usr/sbin/sftp-server -l INFO

    If you have a recent version of sshd then the "-l INFO" will log file transfers to the syslog; if you
    have an old version, then this will generate an error, so remove it.
