SSH and FTP on linux VMWARE

[JENSAN]

Hi, I'm running an Ubuntu Server 16.04 VM on my Server/Laptop and I wanna connect to the VM through Putty or something on my desktop and when I try to do this nothing happens, I've installed ssh on the server and FileZilla server and I've configured them right but I can't connect to both of them. Any help?

I suspect the VM is firewalled off from the rest of the world to begin with. I'd start there.

Can you ping the VM server?

I've never played with VMs, but I suspect the VM must have a separate IP address or some per-port routing / NAT needs to be done on the server. So basically what Radium_Angel said. Look in the VMWare network documentation.

I’ll take a look on this When I get Home.

VMware gives each VM a seperate IP if you use ESXI, if you use workstation player you might have to configure bridge mode in network settings for the VM.

hi

 

The most easy way is just to just add another host only adapter to your VM then poweron the VM again. This is how you do it.

 

1. add adapter in vm settings

2. run ip link in terminal to find name of new interface. (most likely called enp0s8)

3. enable interface by running ifconfig <interface name> up (when command isnt found you have to install net-tools, apt-get install nettools)

4. Give a ip adres to the adapter by editing /etc/network/interfaces.

 

nano /etc/network/interfaces

It should look something like this blue text has to be added to file

 

# The loopback network interface
auto lo enp0s3
iface lo inet loopback

 

# The primary network interface
iface enp0s3 inet dhcp

 

#The secondary network interface for putty

iface enp0s8 inet static

address 192.168.2.30

netmask 255.255.255.0

network 192.168.2.0

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

 

Thats all
