I have RHEL 6.8 Machine installed in a VM. I moved one file libc.so.6 from /lib64/ to /lib64/backup/. Since then I am not able to connect to that machine through Putty or WinSCP. Both the tools give the same error. Software caused connection abort.
As I haven’t created this VM, I don’t have permission to restart it. But will restarting the machine, solve the issue ? What can be the solution for this situation, except re-installing the OS ?

Answer
The time-saving workaround is to reinstall the OS.
Note :- Reinstalling the OS will solve the issue, but you’ll lose all the installed software and the data. That’s why it is a workaround and not the solution.
