How to allow login to VMware ESX Server with SSH ?

Posted on by kartook

I was facing a problem to login the ESX through winSCP client then i found the solution ..

  1. Go to the service console on the physical server & login
  2. vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  3. Change the line that says PermitRootLogin from “no” to “yes”
  4. do service sshd restart

And my problem was solved…

I don’t have any problems with SFTP or SCP using WinSCP 3.0.

Make SURE you are not trying to connect SFTP with root user access. By default, remote root login is disabled.

Try below :

  1. Hacking the ESX 3i Server Root Password
  2. Security :SSH Hardening – disable root login and change port.
  3. How to login with specific username with remote server through SSH?
