  • 1.  SFTP server handler - kex_exchange_identification

    Posted Thu April 24, 2025 06:09 AM

    Hi,
    When I set up a SFTP sever handler things works as expected but I get a lot of errors in the log: SSH Server internal message: 'kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host'
    No matter how I configure I can't stop those messages. The only way to stop the is to disable the handler.
    Hope someone can help me get rid of the messages. :)

    Regards
    Jocke D

    Jocke,

    Based upon the error, there seems to be something on the other end.   Is it possible the sending component/program/server/app is misconfigured or not handling the key exchange correctly?

    Hi Joseph,
    Thanks for your reply.
    And when I read it, it occurred to me that of course it must be the health checks from the load balancer that are causing them. 
    Have to talk to the network guys.  :)
