Sftp plugin authentication problem

Post by *Snifftheair »

Hi all,
Have recently added the sftp plugin and got it setup and working on my internal network.
The problem comes when I try to access from outside I get "Authentication failed! UserAuthException: Exhausted available authentication methods"
I've checked the obvious things like IP address and port forwarding but no problems found.
Be gratefull for any pointers please.

Your server may be requiring login via client certificate from the outside.

You can try to create a log file in TC to see error details:

1. Switch to the internal SD card by going to the home folder, and then tap on the first entry in the list
2. Create a new folder named .TotalCommander including the dot at the beginning (if it doesn't exist yet)
3. You may need to enable the display of hidden files in the TC configuration if you cannot see that folder.
4. Go inside this folder .TotalCommander
5. Create a new file named log.txt by holding down a finger on the first line (..)
6. Close Total Commander via "X" button and restart it
