I have made all steps from How to share files through the local network?

I am able to connect to my PC1, if it works as WIFI router with its built in WIFI adapter, but if I connect it to my WIFI router, it has internet.

My second PC2 are connected to the same WIFI router too and has internet.

I know IPs of both. I can not connect with sftp in both ways.

In first case it says: Oops! Something went wrong, Unhandled error message. Timed out when logging in.

The PC2 says: Unable to access location. No route to host

my PC1's IP: 192.168.0.101, and second IP 192.168.0.102

How to find out what's wrong. I am really tired of messing up with USB flash drive and copy/move files with it.

I've wasted an hour for this with no result.

Words that Ubuntu/Linux is user friendly are real bullshit.

  • Quite possible that firewall is blocking communication on port 21 for ftp.
    is the ftp service running on your machine? Install nmap and do a nmap localhost to check that.     – Abel Tom Nov 15 '17 at 12:58
  • @AbelTom everything is open. – mevsme Nov 15 '17 at 14:00
  • Then, I would suggest do a sudo ufw enable and sudo ufw status to see ssh and ftp status on both the machines. ufw-Uncomplicated firewall. Would be nice if you could show the output. – Abel Tom Nov 15 '17 at 14:06
  • @AbelTom can something be with the router, that it doesn't allow me access computers? Or if both has internet, then both should be able connect each other? – mevsme Nov 15 '17 at 14:31
  • Status: active Logging: on (low) Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed) New profiles: skip ```` @AbelTom – mevsme Nov 15 '17 at 14:34
  • I'd like to advice you to remove the last sentence of your question, it doesn't add any useful information but probably keeps people away from helping you. It might also be a reason that your question will be down-voted. I agree that solving problems in Ubuntu/Linux can be a hard nut sometimes, but we should focus on the topic in our questions, comments and answers. – mook765 Nov 15 '17 at 15:58

You need to tell your firewall that it should accept incoming connections from ssh and ftp. Try doing a sudo ufw allow ssh and sudo ufw allow ftp, and ask for status. (sudo ufw status)

  • didn't help. I don't think it's FW issue because I can connect PC1 with PC2 if PC1 is router and broadcasts WIFI connection. Maybe something with my external home router? Can it be so? Thanks for you tries to help. – mevsme Nov 15 '17 at 15:03
