[Gizard]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to use cyberduck to stransfer roms via SFTP, but I keep getting this error:

SSH is on, btw
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are you sure about your PIs IP adress: usually I see something like 192.168.xxx.xxx that is provided from router DHCP to the pi.

Not sure why, but if I'm downstairs (where the connection is poor) my Pi's IP address looks like 192.168.xxx.xxx But if I'm on the main floor (where connection is good) I see an IP address like 10.0.0.0. I have transferred roms to a pi with this kind of IP address (10.0.0.0) in the past without issue btw.

that sounds like you are connecting to two different routers or networks. both 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x are reserved for "local" networks, but they shouldn't be configured on the same network like that. a router will be configured to issue IPs to connecting devices within a range, in one of those IP subsets. usually routers will reserve an IP to the connecting device too, so you'd see the same IP when connecting with the same device (until the reservation expires, or the router is rebooted). i would guess that when you are on the 192 net, you aren't in the same network space.

i don't know much about cyberduck or mac stuff, but maybe just try a different client?

also, are you just using a standard retropie install, or have you changed anything that could be related to the ssh/ftp stuff?

there is an alternate SFTP server that a lot of people use called dropbear (i frequently do, and haven't had issues with it). maybe that would help?

here's how you enable that, and remove the stock one:

Code: Select all

#update libraries
sudo apt-get update -y

#install new service
sudo apt-get install dropbear -y

# change the line with 'NO_START' to '0' for auto-starting at boot
sudo nano /etc/default/dropbear

# stop and remove old sftp
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh stop
sudo /etc/init.d/dropbear start
sudo apt-get purge openssh-server -y

#clean up and reinstall sftp server
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge -y
sudo apt-get install openssh-sftp-server

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know what the MintyPi login and password is to make these changes?

This is the default password for pi...
"According to RaspberryPi.org, the default username on Raspbian is pi and the default password is raspberry.
