[CentOS] CENTOS 5 incoming SFTP

[Tony Sweeney]

Surprisingly (to me, anyway), the SSH daemon is off by default in CentOS; you need to 'chkconfig sshd on' and 'service sshd start' as root in order to be able to ssh in.

Barry,

I will check on firewall, though I have not deliberately activated one.
This machine has run for several years without this occurance.  I will check on port 22.  All other machnes on the LAN are Windows.

Many thanks for getting back to me.

John
