SSH Windows to Mint [SOLVED]

[Mintessori]

Hi guys,

I´m new to Linux Mint forums and I hope I'm in the right directory for my questions.

I want to SSH my Mint machine from a Windows machine on my LAN, and it works perfectly well as long as I use Putty only, to connect. Problem is, I would like to use some ssh gui software on Windows, to move files around, and that dont work at all... connection rejected.
So far, I've tried Cyberduck and WinSCP with no success. It don't even work if I disable firewall (ufw), so I guess I'm using the wrong software?. Do you guys have some working alternatives, or do you know what I´m doing wrong?


My next question is about ssh firewall rules. First I was using...

Code: Select all

sudo ufw allow ssh

...but I wanted to tighten that up a bit, so I tried...

Code: Select all

sudo ufw allow proto tcp from 12.34.56.78 to any port 22

...and that works fine, but is it safe or could I do better?

Thanks in advance

that IS better!

On the Mint side of the house, is ssh running?

Yes it is. It's working fine with Putty, but not with Cyberduck or WinSCP.

Thanks! FileZilla actually worked. Don't know why I didn't think about that myself, because I use it all the time for distant server access.
Thanks again, both!
