Can SSH into instance, but can't SCP files into it

Question

I have an EC2 instance that I'm trying to SCP files into it. I can SSH into it perfectly fine, but when I try to SCP files, I get

```
client_loop: send disconnect: Connection reset
```

I'm not sure why this is happening, thanks in advance.

Answer

Hello

I think it may the issue of your network , You can SSH into the machine and the following,

`vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config ` updated the values
```
ClientAliveInterval 60
ClientAliveCountMax 3
```

`sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart` let me know if you still have issues

Answer

I've fixed it myself, I just restarted the instance and waited a few hours.

Answer

Are you using ubuntu or debian based server?

Try this command:

```
sudo systemctl restart sshd
```

and then check the status of SSH daemon with:

```
sudo systemctl status sshd
```

it should display green dot and look for any error in the logs.
Hope it helps
