Server Management

Scenario
Your backend is accessible only through ssh key-pairing but you have the need to use an FTP program like FileZilla to transfer a file from or to a local machine.

Temporarily disable the ssh only access
From the command line:

  1. sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  2. Set PasswordAuthentication to yes
  3. sudo service sshd restart

From your FTP application
