Can't access "/home/pi" using SFTP

[Lemaum]

I bought a RPI3 today and started setting it up, the first thing I did was to enable the SSH connection, PuTTY worked perfectly, but when I tried to connect using WinSCP and FileZilla, they timed out. So I changed the default SFTP home directory in the "sshd_config" file and I was able connect, but I can't access the "/home/pi" directory, everytime I try to do that the apps time out. I searched on Google but didn't find anything to solve my problem. Does anyone knows how to fix this?

I don't have a problem using FileZilla and sftp. I entered the IP, user 'pi', password and port 22, then "Quick Connect".

Got a firewall installed? I do. I had to let port 22 from my localnet through the firewall.

I'd undo your changes to the sshd config files. If you login with user=pi then your default directory will be /home/pi (based on what ever is in /etc/passwd).

Code: Select all

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp>"c:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY"\psftp pi@192.168.3.14
Using username "pi".
pi@192.168.3.14's password:
Remote working directory is /home/pi

I've just done a clean install of the 2017-03-02 release and upgraded:

I can winscp (version 5.9.4 build 7333) without any problems to raspberrypi.local as user pi ( I left login folder as <none>)

Thank you guys, I solved that problem. For some reason my router's WiFi was blocking the bigger files to transfer, when I connected my Pi to it by the cable everything worked perfectly.
