Everytime I try to copy files from ESXi machine to other Linux machine it always fails. Either it waits for longer time or ends up with time out error.
Cmd used: scp local_file root@:IP:path/to/folder
cmd err:ssh: connect to host port 22: Connection timed out lost connection
Linux machine has sshd service running.
But, copying from Linux to ESXi works.
Where am I missing in configuration? Thanks in advance !!
Answer
Enable SSH client (CLI method).
Check if SSH client service is enabled. Will return 'False' if 'Disabled'.
esxcli network firewall ruleset list --ruleset-id sshClient
Then enable SSH client.
esxcli network firewall ruleset set --ruleset-id sshClient --enabled=true
