The error is most likely caused by a mismatch between the form of Diffie-Hellman group exchange used by the client and the server. The old Rebex client uses the legacy form that was prevalent in early days of the SSH protocol (even as late as 2010, legacy form was the only form supported by some servers), but the server you are connecting to insists on using the standard form which is prevalent now. Historically, many servers supported both forms, but it looks like some SSH servers have recently started rejecting clients using the legacy form.

Possible solutions:

  1. Set Sftp object's Settings.SshParameters.UseLegacyGroupExchange property to false (only available in Rebex SFTP 2017 R6.2 and later).

  2. Upgrade to a recent version of Rebex SFTP. To make sure it resolves the issue, try the free 30-day trial first.
