Remote SSH user always gets "connection closed"

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I've tried service sshd restart, I've added sshd:all:allow to my /etc/allow.hosts and the remote user tried rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts. I also checked the logs: cat /var/logs/secure | grep ssh and it says Accepted password for $user from ... This is the first time this particular user has tried connecting but other users have successfully connected to my machine for several days. None of this has worked or pointed me to the error. Any ideas? Edit: I SSH-d into his machine to see if I could get an error log or something by SSH-ing back to me. If I use ssh -vvv $host I get various messages, (HowTos)

Hopefully you guys can help and see if I've done something weird here, I'm trying to log in with a user I set up, FileZilla shows me:

Command: open "///@///" Command: Pass: ******** Status: Connected to /// Error: Connection closed by server with exitcode 1 Error: Could not connect to server

So, I went into auth.log and I see this:

I have configured SSHD using Cygwin on Windows 7.

I have two Ubuntu machines. Both have openssh-client and openssh-server installed on them. ssh-ing from machine G (fresh Ubuntu 11.10 installation) to machine K works great.

[ubuntu] SFTP Connection Error 2 years 47 weeks ago

I recently started receiving "SFTP connection error" when I tried to connect from a SFTP client. I was working correctly until a few weeks ago. I am not sure if an update broke my system. I have another system that is pretty much identical even updates, but it has continued to work. I cannot find any helpful info in the logs. Here is a snippet from auth.log:

Nautilus issue 3 years 27 weeks ago

Hello,

Trying to create a socks (-D) ssh tunnel - Linux box to Linux box (both centos):

sshd running on remote side ok.

From local machine we do / see this:

ssh -D 1080 user@8.8.8.8. user@8.8.8.8's password: bind: Cannot assign requested address

(where 8.8.8.8 is really my server's IP and 'user' is my real username)

I am logged into the remote side in this terminal-window.

Hello,

I'm trying to add a user with SFTP and chroot. I fallowed the usual procedure and it seems that the user can ssh and logs in correctly into the server with a rsa key. However, sftp doesn't work at all. The user can connect and gets authorized, but nothing more seems to happen.
