Can I use the same machine as a client and server for SSH?
- by achraf
For development tests, I need to setup an SFTP server. So I want to know if it's possible to use the same machine as the client and the server. I tried and I keep getting this error:
> Permission denied (publickey).
> Connection closed
and by running ssh -v agharroud@localhost i get :
