Fresh install retropie 4.2 cannot ssh or sftp
-
@EvilWayz or just do
update-rc.d ssh enable(and reboot). -
I am unable to get SSH working. After enabling it i get the following error message from Putty: Network error Software caused connection abort.
I tried to connect via my android phone and the message i get there is: session.connect: java.io.IOExeption: End of IO Stream Read.
Any help would be appriciated.

Hey, so. I updated to the latest Retro pie 4.2. I enabled ssh Connect. So I am now able to connect to the raspberry via filezilla,. However it won't let me delete or move roms to different folders. Has anyone had this issue and is there a fix?
Thanks,

@BuZz @herb_fargus can one of you guys close this thread so we can stop having other people hijack this trainwreck? That way they can make their own threads and not read the README.

@Swagman89 as the person who created this thread, i see nothing that people have asked that arent related to ssh issues and 4.2. Just because i managed to fix it by just enabling ssh, there are others who havent and if they create a new post they will probably get told the exact same thing. I would prefer keeping it contained to one thread.

@edmaul69 Just figured it went against the rules seeing as there have been multiple people say they are having the same issue. Which could all be fixed by reading the documentation.

@Swagman89 the problem is that some people have done what i have done and stll have issues. The problem is that this is all new to 4.2 due to raspberrypi.or making changes to pixel because of hackers using "internet of things" devices to take down websites. So even when i asked i didnt think to look because i have done so much retropie stuff and never saw this before so it didnt make sense why it wasnt working and doing a search didnt help.
-
@edmaul69 not to be rude but I'm pretty sure it was in the release notes/changelog for 4.2. I feel confident that 99.9% of all changes made to RetroPie are documented. Plus if other people are having issues after they added the file to enable ssh then they should make a new thread or open a problem report on github. Makes it easier to find with a search imo.

Why did they disable it on default?
-
@PetroRie raspberrypi.org disabled it in pixel because hackers are using peoples "internet of things" devices that use a common password to take down entire websites. So reluctantly the felt it was something that had to be done. So when you enable it and you drop to commandline you will notice at the top that it tells you to change your password. This is all to protect you and your device.
