Hi guys, I have ssh (SFTP I guess?) setup between my two Ubuntu desktops. For ease of explanation, my first desktop is computer A and the second is B. My problem:
I can connect to computer B from computer A using the saved sftp command (under Connect to Server in file browser) specifying it's hostname and user login. It works every time. I used to be able to do the same from computer B to computer A. I updated the hostname of computer A by editing the /etc/hosts and the /etc/hostname files properly. Afterwards, the connection from B to A using A's hostname only worked part of the time (just times out). Now it never works and I am only able to connect to A from B if I manually look up A's IP address. Obviously this is pretty annoying. How can I fix this? Thanks!
