Unable to connect to remote EE server

[peking1983]

I have been working with YJP and figuring out more of the security issues.

The one I've been stuck with is I can SSH to the server and login without issue.
When I try to use those credentials via YJP, I get an error that cannot upload files.

I don't know much about the server as it's inherited and I am trying to support but it is running on Payara 5 built on openjdk version "1.8.0_362"


I see the errors but my license doesn't allow me to use a newer version.

Any info what the permission denied/failed to upload files error is? I would assume permission setting somewhere but not enough details or googling has been able to find it.

Maybe your SSH user doesn't have the necessary permissions to create files. For example, does the user have a home directory? Can you try uploading something to your server using the 'scp' command with the same credentials you specified in the profiler?

Thank you for the insight, as that was the issue.
The program was running as a user with no home directory, creating the home and was YJP able to connect remotely.

Thank you for confirming that the issue has been resolved. We will work on handling this "no home" situation better in future versions to provide more precise and useful error messages.
