I have proxmox installed on a dell r730xd and installed without an issue, but I am having difficulties uploading anything to it. It doesn't matter if it is through the web portal or sftp.

Other than that I am not sure what the issue can be? I don't have any errors and it doesn't matter from what computer neither, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Just an FYI when I use sftp it's like the session terminates and restarts and I get a message like the file is there, but the file never transferred over, also it seems like my ssh sessions to the proxmox host become unresponsive after about a minute, but ssh session's to the nethserver vm are fine and they both go to the same nic.

hi,

* maybe you don't have enough space on your server? what is the output from df -h and lsblk -f?

* how big are the files you're transferring? can you try transferring a smaller text file?

are you in the same LAN as your PVE server? how do you connect to it?

I have plenty of space 4TB drive dedicated for iso's and the main os is on 2 500GB SSD raid 1

It doesn't matter the file size

My server is on the same switch just a different vlan. I can try to put my desktop on the same vlan as the proxmox server, but I didn't think that would matter.

Also I looked the config I was using a while ago, which was using ovswitch, I installed ovswitch and tried replicating the configs and the network interfaces don't come up.

The uploads just time out also any ssh session freezes like I loose communication, even if I use the proxmox web console but I can ssh to my centos vm just fine.

Edit: I fixed the issue by making my ovswitch config match below and setting my switch port trunk native vlan be set to my management vlan instead of an unused vlan like I saw on a different guide.


FYI these aren't my configs and I followed this guide https://opentechtips.com/exercise-set-up-10-new-vlans-on-proxmox/
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The virtual network switch
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet manual
ovs_type OVSBridge
ovs_ports eno1 vlan1 vlan11 vlan12 vlan13 vlan14 vlan15 vlan16 vlan17 vlan18 vlan19 vlan20

# The primary network interface
auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual
ovs_bridge vmbr0
ovs_type OVSPort

# Configure the management interface on vlan1
auto vlan1
iface vlan1 inet static
ovs_type OVSIntPort
ovs_bridge vmbr0
address 10.0.255.1/24
gateway 10.0.255.254
ovs_mtu 1500
