Dim thisSFTP = New Rebex.Net.Sftp
Dim par As New SshParameters
par.HostKeyAlgorithms = SshHostKeyAlgorithm.Any 
par.KeyExchangeAlgorithms = par.KeyExchangeAlgorithms Or SshKeyExchangeAlgorithm.DiffieHellmanGroup1SHA1
thisSFTP.LogWriter = new Rebex.FileLogWriter(FtpDebugFile, Rebex.LogLevel.Debug)
thisSFTP.Connect(Instance.remoteHost, Instance.remoteHostPort, par)

Thank you,
I have tried the same code with 2017R1 version. Everything went fine. What might have changed in between?.
by (75.8k points)
I am sorry, do you mean 2017 R1 or 2019 R1?
Do I understand correctly, that the same code is working with 2017 R1, but it is not working with 2018 R2?
by (120 points)
Yes, absolutely.
by (120 points)
This code was working 2017r1 then made an upgrade to 2018r2. It started giving exception. I have also tried 2019r1. It did not work either.
by (75.8k points)
Can you please try the 2019r1 with setting UseLegacyGroupExchange property?

Please try both values:
  par.UseLegacyGroupExchange = true
and also:
  par.UseLegacyGroupExchange = false

Let us know, whether one of those setting works.

By default, auto-detection algorithm is used to perform legacy group exchange. It seems that something was changed (on server or on client), which caused to auto-detect algorithm is not working with your server.

both true and false did not changed the result. Still negotiation failed: Server closed connection.

 I am sending the verbose log in two parts.

Thank you for sharing VERBOSE log. It showed that the server closed the connection immediately after receiving initial SSH_MSG_KEXINIT.
Can you please share here (or send to support@rebex.net) VERBOSE log from the working 2017r1 version? So we can compare those two. It will be very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for the log. I have noticed, that in version 2017r1, you did not use the diffie-hellman-group1-sha1. It corresponds to this setting:

par.KeyExchangeAlgorithms = par.KeyExchangeAlgorithms Or SshKeyExchangeAlgorithm.DiffieHellmanGroup1SHA1

There are other differences, we will look at those.

In the mean time, can you please disable adding DiffieHellmanGroup1SHA1 in the newer version (2018r2 or 2019r1). Just comment out the mentioned line for setting the par.KeyExchangeAlgorithms.
It is possible that the server has some issue with this legacy algorithm.
