When i try to connect server via sftp, i get above error. Follow the below steps to solve the error.
Step 1: Login to the server via ssh terminal.
Step 2: You need to make some changes in the SSHD configuration file by using below command.# sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Enter "Subsystem sftp internal-sftp" instead of "Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server"in the above config file and save and exit.
Step 3: Restart the SSH service for new changes to take effect by using below command.# sudo systemctl restart sshd
Now you can use SFTP without error.
Thank you!
