sftp connection failed
I am by no means an expert, or even intermediate skill level using linux so this is almost certainly user error. But I am trying to connect to my server from the mod manager. I am getting this failed to connect to ssh server. I have already ensured that ssh is set up on the server and made sure it is working. I can connect both with ssh and sftp from my machine to the server machine perfectly fine with my password. I tried both through a terminal and using WinSCP and it works just fine...just not through SMM
Please someone tell me where I'm being an idiot

Does your password contain any special characters? Have you tried the simple mode?
Sorry for late reply...no my password only contains lowercase letters and numbers, I have tried both simple and advanced mode
You have FTP selected here
Oh ya I do in that screenshot
I'm fairly sure I've tried both... I'll check when I'm home. Imma be pissed if that was it lol
Ok, confirmed it was not that. It doesn't work on SFTP either
Does SFTP in simple mode still say
attempted methods [none]? As long as a password is set, it should try to login using that, so it should be listed there as a methodon simple mode, i can't even click add as the spinning circle under the path never goes away
as for advanced mod i get this:
is it possible theres an issue with my sshd_config? i can list that here if it helps, like i said initially, i am not too experienced in setting up a linux environment
Sorry for the delay, but I tested this now with my home server, on which I disabled password auth, I can only connect using keys, and I got the same result of password not being mentioned, while on a different server that does accept passwords, an invalid password did list "password" in attempted methods.
Do you have a similar setup where you can only auth using keys, and the password you were referring to for WinSCP is the password for the private key?
