February 19, 20188 yr I upgraded from 6.3.x to 6.4.1 and now cannot connect to my unRAID server using my SSH client. I can connect using the Terminal window, but prefer to use my SSH client. I am receiving the error: "The remote system refused the connection." Is there a config change for 6.4.x which prevents external clients from connecting?
February 19, 20188 yr Author Hmm ... seems I was actually using Telnet to connect previously (how old school!). Will look into actually configuring SSH instead!
February 19, 20188 yr Author My issue was that when I first set up unRAID a few years back, I had manually set up ssh to connect to my remote servers for rsync purposes, and so my ssh configuration was stopping my ssh client from connecting to the unRAID server. Will have to do some more research into how to get these to co-exist.
February 20, 20188 yr Author Just for future reference, I fixed this by removing my ssh config from /boot/config/ssh and then rebooting the server at which point unRAID recreated the necessary ssh config for me to be able to connect directly using my external client. Then I was able to copy back my original ssh client config into a separate directory (I used /boot/config/ssh_client), from which I copied the necessary files (keys and known_hosts file) into /root/.ssh at server startup. I can now ssh/sftp/rsync into remote machines from my unRAID server and everything seems to be working again.
