Apparently Flash FXP doesn't support SFTP. I recommend WS_FTP, works well for me.

Installing uTorrent on a Leeware

Updates
3-Apr: Added a few more things on how to install uTorrent on a Leaseweb server.

TONS of people have been PMing me lately to set up their Leeware boxes, so I guess I should just post a guide on how to do it This guide is intended for Leeware servers only, but it may work with other servers running RPM based distributions (aka distros) as well. Firstly, you need to get the following applications:

• Putty or any other SSH client
• FTP Client (with SFTP support) like CuteFTP, WinSCP, WS_FTP, etc.
• TightVNC or any other VNC Viewer

Now, follow instructions carefully.

1. Open up Putty. On the left tree, go to Session.
2. Under Hostname (or IP address) type your IP or hostname (i.e. vpsxxx.leeware.com)
3. Choose SSH (port 22)
4. Under Saved Sessions, type something like "My Leeware Box" and press Save. (Later on, you can just load the session, so you don't have to do the previous steps again)
5. Press Open.
6. Now, a black screen should come up (terminal/command prompt).
7. Enter your root account details - (username, password)
8. Notice, when you type in the password, nothing appears on the screen! That's not a bug - it's normal. Btw, you can also paste the password by right click (again, putty won't display anything on screen).
9. At this point, you should be logged on. Yay, we can install some stuff now.
10. Type yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server to install those 3 apps: xterm (a GUI terminal), wine (to emulate windows), and VNC server (to allow you to remove control your server with a GUI).
11. After a while, you should see that those 3 apps are installed.
12. Download uTorrent onto your server. Type wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/utorrent.exe
13. Start VNC server, type vncserver :1

when i type vncserver:1
i get msg:

-bash: vncserver:1: command not found

Hmmm, I didn't know that I thought it did.

I think I'm actually wrong on that. The information I found is like a year old, so support has probably been added since.

Ahh well, I removed it from the list of FTP clients I said in the guide, just in case.

I have FlashFXP 3.2.0 build 1080

When you connect / set up a server to connect to you can choose: Standard (No SSL), Auth SSL, Auth TLS or Implicit SSL.
Neither of those worked, couldn't connect to leeware box.

However, I downloaded WinSCP which is free and it worked fine.

EDIT:
It seems the newest version is 3.4, 3.2 being the version before that. However, I cannot seem to locate any info about whether it now supports SFTP or not... at least I couldn't find anything referring to that in the changelog history.
