The client and the server have no common algorithms.

Question

When I try and ssh.Connect to a server I get the message "The client and the server have no common algorithms." I can connect using PuTTY just fine.

Any ideas? I am a novice at this so it could be something basic, but I have researched and not been able to come up with anything.

Answer 1

Could you please create the log of the communication as described in this article with

Rebex.LogLevel.Verbose

and mail it to support@rebex.net? We should be able to tell what is going on. (You can delete passwords and usernames from the verbose log.)

Answer 2

Since Version 2012 R2, the Rebex SSH supports also hmac-sha1-96 and hmac-md5-96 MAC algorithms.

(An absence of this algorithms caused the problem reported above.)
