[Solved] Ssh and scp between two vmware Ubuntu

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu
1

Hello,

Please, I would like to connect a VM to another:
I typed as follows:

ssh root@192.168.1.4
root@192.168.1.4 's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.1.4 's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.1.4 's password:
Permission denied (publickey, password).

Every time I type the password, I'm sure it correct but it does not accept
it works when I do a ping..
Do you have any idea please?

Thank you so much.
BestRegards.

You might want to check if root is permitted to directly login inside sshd_config.
It's not a good security practice to enable the same.

I would recommend, enable it, exchange the ssh keys and put PermitRootLogin without-password inside your sshd_config on both hosts.

That way only keys will work for root account.

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PermitRootLogin yes

But as a first quick test what the problem is you can simply run: ssh username@192.168.1.4

Anyway: I would disable root login (or keep it disabled and ssh-login as user).

Is it possible that a remote machine sends me a file on this address

Thank you for answer.
