FreeBSD Unable to connect via SFTP












0














So just created a FreeBSD 12 server on Vultr.com, which I can log into via SSH but cannot get into it via SFTP.



The following works and prompts for the root password:



ssh -i ~/.ssh/vultr_rsa root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx


When I try to connect using an SFTP client it fails to login (I have tried a few clients in case there was an issue with CyberDuck but none of them can login).



In the past, mostly with AWS, whenever I have got SSH working SFTP also just works, so I'm guessing that AWS have changed something in their image that Vultr hasn't.



In FreeBSD 12 do you normally need to install/configure anything to get SFTP working?
