version 9.2.5

Hi All

I have problem with connection to sFTP. It all works on FileZilla using the same settings. However when I test connection in VC, I got below error.

Connetion test failed. Error: Connection lost due to error 96258

Any ideas how to solve it or troubleshoot ?

Thanks in advance

Edit the SFTP connection and click on the tab connection settings followed by the tab encryption.
Set auto adict ciphers, does that help?

They were set to auto already. I then test connection with FileZilla with debug mode set to verbose, to check exact encryption algorithms and set them in VC accordingly. Didn't help.
So I set them to auto ajust ciphers.

One common issue we have had is in testing ftp sites with VC. From my laptop (on VPN to our network) I can access any external ftp site but from the servers where we have VC installed they are under additional security measures so we have to whitelist external addresses accessed via those servers. This certainly may not be how your network is setup but it is worth the question: Are you running filezilla from the same machine as VC?

Joey asked a very relevant question, please answer that and if you are, would it be possible for us to get a test connection to see if we can reproduce it from our environment? That would greatly speed up this troubleshooting. Send us an email to support@visualcron.com

Yes, FileZilla connection that worked was made from the machine where VC is used.

Test connections are made from the same machine.

I guess it is not possible to provide details of the connection as connectivity between VC server and sFTP is done with VPN only so not accessible from the outside. For connection in FileZilla I used IP, user and private key - nothing else. I used the same elements for VC.

Could you please upgrade to the latest version and then re-create the connection and see if you are able to reproduce the issue?
