[solved] Can't retrieve files from sftp session

Hi all,

I installed openssh on my system. I added
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
and my user to the config file. I can log in both with ssh and using an ftp program (sftp://ipaddress). However, when I'm logged in with an ftp program, I can't retrieve any files.

I'm specifically trying with Filezilla. The option to Download is grayed out, I can't queue up files, etc. This happens on any file. I've made sure that I'm trying on files that my user has complete access to. It feels like I'm missing something in the sshd config.

Thanks,

** edit, marking solved. seems to just be a filezilla prob. i can get in with other clients **
thx

Does the command-line sftp program work?

Yeah. It does. I can connect there and retrieve files. So it must be a filezilla prob.
