SFTP The server does not accept interactive authentication

SFTP The server does not accept interactive authentication

Hello, I want to connect by SFTP protocol but I have this error:
The server does not accept interactive authentication

With this link
https://api.devolutions.net/redirection/176c987f-5624-471d-806d-8853d5cf0701

But the link is for SSH not for SFTP.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Hi,

SFTP is a file transfer protocol which uses SSH as its base for connection. So, SSH trouble shooting does apply to SFTP.

But according to your error message, the problem seems not related to algorithms selection. My first guess is that you either entered your password incorrectly (or user name), or the server does not accept password authentication. It is also possible that your password contains characters which have ambiguous encoding (accented characters are a good exemple).

You can also provide us with logs to help us diagnose the problem. In the "Advanced" tab of your SFTP entry, set "Verbose" to 2, check the "Log to file" option and next to it, set an appropriate path for the log file.
