    ok, I made the ssh yourhost /usr/bin/true but I don't know what to do next ;)

    iIf I choose yes, he asks me a password, but none of my system passwords match

    hmm

    it could be that cuteftp has some probs, because I can access the server with the sftp command from another root server :(


    sftp asks me to acceppt a key, and than it works.

    cute ftp does the same, but it doesn't work for him...

    This seems to be a CuteFTP problem then...

    but I use Cuteftp for some other servers where he has no problems, and I also cannot connect with WS_FTP. :confused:

    Do you also use SFTP on your other servers, or only FTP?

    Have you compared your SSH configuration on your servers?

    Those aren't my servers, I have only ssh access on them

    Do you have access to the sshd configuration? Then you can compare the configurations.

    Do you have this line in your sshd_config?

    Code:
    Subsystem       sftp    /usr/lib/sftp-server
