winscp error: Network error connection timed out
Hi all,
I am trying to winscp to RHEL5 server and i am ending up with following error.

PHP Code:
Network error:connection timed out 
The system is up and running but not able to winscp.
Tried SFTP,SCP and FTP protocols in winscp but none worked.
I can ssh into this server from another server though.
Is there anything to be configured on RHEL box before using winscp ?
Thanks in advance!

scp ought to be scp and not care whether the client is winscp, pscp, or other.

Is there a firewall between any of the computers?

Maybe the server is blocking SFTP/FTP/SCP and only allowing SSH.

Perhaps it's using tcpwrappers, a firewall, a chroot-specific rule or a modified sshd_config file.

It would be useful to have a look at the debug output from SFTP (sftp -vvv). I'm not sure however if WinSCP provides any options for debugging.

It's the same port. It'd have to at least connect first, transfer some headers, to tell the difference.
