Why won't Cyberduck connect via SFTP?

  • 772

I'm receiving the following error when trying to connect via Cyberduck SFTP to an Ubuntu 9.10 server that I am able to successfully ssh into:

[main] ERROR ch.cyberduck.core.sftp.SFTPSession - Connection attempt canceled

I have other Ubuntu servers that I am able to successfully SSH into and Cyberduck is able to SFTP into. I've reviewed /etc/ssh/sshd_config and am now at a loss as to what else to check.

ubuntu sftp

    If your .bashrc or shell login is producing output sftp or scp will fail: FAQ. Try issuing a remote command via ssh:

    ssh [email protected] /bin/true

    If the above spits out any text, you need to fix the offending text generator in the cookiemonster account's login scripts. No fortune cookies upon login for sftp. ;(
