How do I fix a "Key Check Failed" issue

Post by jkurrle »

I have CoreFTP server on a box that has been working ok up to today. All of a sudden, when I try to connect from my Linux box to my CoreFTP windows box, I get the following message:

Received disconnect from XXX.XX.XX.XXX: 2: key check failed
Couldn't read packet: Connection reset by peer

This has been fine until today. I have tried stopping and restarting the service, but it doesn't make any difference.

My version of CoreFTP is build 178.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have more or less the same problem. Find error below
