before asking this question i looked through google and tried different alternatives none of which were successful for me, sadly. I'm a little above the noob level. What i want is to basicaly host a wordpress site on a google cloud debian machine.
I was doing good installing services through their SSH access until i got to the point where i installed an ftp service and wanted to access it through a remote computer(my own) i only got as far as to:
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to 104.197.183.19...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "[email protected]" 22
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
I kept on looking and trying new ways until i found the gcloud documentation for ftp but it is not aimed at new ones, so my questions are:
Where do i input the commands for gcloud, on my computer or on the SSH console(Google cloud machine)? Do i need to use gcloud for ftp remote access or can i do it entirely through my computer and their SSH machine? Do i really need to add an ssh authorization file to FileZilla or is there a way i can disable that check on my vps so it lets me sign in with just a username and a password?
- What i already tried and didn't work for me:
gCloud documentation for ssh and ftp Google cloud documention for setting up a wordpress site Many others
Basically what i need in short is to manage to access the vps through ftp so i can continue with my learning.. Been stuck there two days.
gcloud
command, file browsers, SCP tool, and WinSCP are described in this article.
