For example my school dashboard – if I need to add something there then I open the folder in Atom ftp-remote-edit, do the edits, ctrl+s and it is live without having any files in my computer.Īlso, when I need to work with data in Excel and need to upload it as csv file to the server then instead of saving csv on my computer I do textjoin in excel and copy-paste the content to csv file on server through ftp-remote-edit. I have gotten used to using Atom for small edits that need to be done here and there. In Ubuntu the key file is located in … What I use it for My own notes (which I use quite often) are here. But there are enough tutorials available on how to generate SSH keys. Select FTP - File Transfer Protocol for the Protocol.

Click the New Site button to create additional connections. I think most difficult in Windows was to find the private key file (and initially to create one). In the FileZilla application, click File on the top menu. Without the path to initial directory you will probably get to the root from where it is not possible to navigate anywhere. Initial directory path I got from my webhosting service provider.key is private key (not *.pub (public) but the other file) – I wasted some time here.username is your username ( username If you have not configured password then you can just leave it empty.Suggestion from my webhosting provider was to use SSH instead of FTP but configuring it is kind of difficult for the first time. 451-Error during read from data connection 451 Transfer aborted.For example if I had large css file then it uploaded only half of it and gave me following 451 and timeout errors: Now you should be able to login as root with your SSH keys.Atom ftp-remote-edit started to break my files occasionally due to the issue that this Atom package uses ftp in passive mode by default which tries to open too many ports at once.

If the SFTP Protocol is specified, it is possible to specify the Logon Type as "Key File" and specify the location of the private key file ( my-ssh-key). This is done (I believe) in the profile settings in the Site Manager of the FileZilla client. Copy the contents of my-ssh-key.pub into this file: /root/.ssh/authorized-keys (using sudo access).Ĭonfigure FileZilla to use Key logon. Login to Ubuntu with your account with sudo access. Generate an SSH keypair, if you don't have one (can be done with this command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f my-ssh-key - this will generate 2 files: my-ssh-key and my-ssh-key.pub). In order for you to log in as root with FileZilla (or any other SFTP tool), you need to setup SSH key authentication. Root access with password is disabled by default on Ubuntu. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on FileZilla, so for specific instructions please refer to FileZilla documentation.
