Hi

I downloaded a free trial of your .Net library. Working with .Net 4.7. Tried connecting to a server yesterday. All was fine - I could retrieve items.
Today I am getting exception: Rebex.Net.SftpException: 'The connection was closed by the server. Make sure you are connecting to an SSH or SFTP server.'

I have checked with WinSCP. The connection to the server is fine using Sftp protocol. Here are details from WinSCP. I could see these details yesterday using your api.

**File transfer protocol = SFTP-6
Cryptographic protocol = SSH-2
SSH implementation = VShell4421912 VShell
Encryption algorithm = aes

Compression = No

Server host key fingerprint

ssh-rsa 2048 ef:d7:92:d4:e3:3a:af:7a:f1:ae:86:61:50:22:08:3d

Can change owner/group = Yes
Can execute arbitrary command = No

Additional information

Are you connecting to a proper port? SFTP runs on 22 by default.
If you are, please create a communication log using Sftp object's LogWriter property (as described at https://www.rebex.net/kb/logging/) and either post it here or mail it to us for analysis. That should make it possible to tell what is going on.

It seems to be working now. I was not calling Disconnect. After calling that I am not having any issue.

Does that make sense?

It's hard to tell based on the limited information we have. A communication log would hopefully make it possible to determine what is going on.
