SFTP SSH key - Invalid username or password reported by serv

Post by stef2015 »

Hi

We have to exchange file with a service provider wich will have to copy our files on his web site with a script.

We have configured client and server (both on the same server windows 2012, first) but we always have "SFTP connection error - Invalid username or password reported by server" and there is a pop-up with user Id (test) and Password (blanck). If there is a password it's the same.

I have setup my server and client as follows.

Core FTP Server
1) Domain properties
- Self signed certificate : done
- check : Disable FTP
- check : SSH/SFTP, and when we click to detail we have port22, a fingerprint and a cert
- check : allow key authentication
- check : key auth only
- Not check : force password with keys
3) user setup
3.1) General :
- username : test
- password : (blanck)
3.2) Security
- ssh pub cert: public key generated by the core ftp LE and copy on a directory outside of the user directory
- Not check : user does not require key auth

Core FTP LE
1) Site manager
- username : test
- password : (blanck)
- port 22
2) Advanced Site setting :
2.1) General
- Not check : Don't prompt for user id when empty
- Check : Do not prompt for password when empty
- Account : (blanck). what does this mean ? What is the difference with the username ?
2.2) SSH
Key File : private key generated by the core ftp LE and copy on a directory outside of the user directory
password : (blanck)
fingerprint : (blanck)


We generated keys with Core FTP LE.


In the server log we have :
starting domain - MyCompagnyName (#1) ...
loading cert 'cert\000001' ....
starting SSH Server ...
error - 10048
Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted (port 22) [#1]
MyCompagnyName active ....

Thank's a lot

Hi

We reboot the server and know it's OK.

We have only had a message which indicate that key have changed, so I think that core ftp had not made ​​change when we have regenerated keys.
