Downloading results
I tried to connect with SFTP and got the error message no matching key
exchange method found
. What does that mean?
See the Downloading Results page for more information about SFTP downloads.
The SFTP server product that we use (ActiveMFT) offers up older, weaker cryptography protocols during the connection process, which newer SFTP clients may be configured to refuse by default.
If you are using the command-line sftp
client, you can deliberately allow a less
secure algorithm during the key exchange process with the -oKexAlgorithms
option:
sftp -P 51022 -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 \
<username>@activemft.research.cchmc.org
Add these lines to your ~/.ssh/config
to default to this option every time you
connect with the ActiveMFT server:
Host activemft.research.cchmc.org
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
